Thank you for the TWX pdf, but is now a good time to point out that the entire paper was dedicated to proving that HFT is a good thing? Their solution to the order priority is also removing artificial regulations, not adding more. I feel like I should have been the one to post that link.

The paper presents the case that HFT as it is practiced right now is bad due to regulations.

But we do not know if tweaking the regulations is the "right" move. Could be a case of "out of the frying pan and into the fire".
