    For a week, until all the quants do the math and realize HFT isn’t profitable anymore.

      That would mean less revenue, but stock traders would still make many transactions per day like they did before HFT, so it would still bring in a massive amount of revenue.

        Well yeah, significantly less (50% of all trades are HFT) but I see your point.
