In 5 minutes someone will start another thread asking how to beat the market ...
"A microwave system currently in place between Chicago and NYC — a straight-line distance of around 800 miles — has a latency of 4.13 milliseconds."
800 miles with a laser? How does the curve of the Earth affe-
You know what? Fuck it.

They are only doing the laser for 35 miles. Not 800. The Chicago new York line will remain microwave, via satellite.
If markets are efficient how come algorithmic trading brings profits?
Quantum entanglement. Faster than light communication.

High altitudes, using the giant fucking poles shown in the article.

A tower granting you an 800 mile line of sight to the horizon would need to be 81 miles tall.

How can /biz/ figure out quantum trading first?

Because they are giving capital to help companies idiot

More lasers? It is really not that hard.
We could sent up satellites too that can also shoot lasers.
Could i launch a balloon with a mirror attached to it to beat the high frequency traders?

The earth curves approximately 8 inches vertically per mile. The altitude difference would need to be 533.3 feet. The towers probably wouldn't even need to be this tall since the land the towers are on are probably at different altitudes.

no way, its impossible
