I have to say that I agree with the sentiments above.
HFT, as a discipline, has to be standardised and regulated otherwise chaos would ensue. That is why I "fell on my sword" after my club's course at the last SHS was called into question and found wanting. Such standardisation emanates from the existence of rules; and from the moral strength of people prepared to question suspected errors and those prepared to stand up and enforce the rules. I believe that such activity ensures fairness, challenge and fun for all and that it should be valued and propagated.
I also believe, however, that the rules themselves should be adaptable to meet changing circumstances; and that such developments depend upon robust discussion and reflection. So, long may that continue too.
Just a view.
