One of my friends is a freakishly smart MIT grad and one of his interests is these algos. After a fascinating conversation where he explained it all to me in simple terms I suggested applying his knowledge to the mkt but he wasn't interested (?). I'm sure all the big trading desks are atleast committing some resources to this. Can you imagine a future where algos joust against one another?
