Flash trading, also known as high-frequency trading, is a practice where stock exchanges can wait up to one-half second before publishing bids and offers, giving customers of the specific exchange the opportunity to act before customers of other exchanges.http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aO8DoToaITO8
The SEC was asked by Senator Charles Schumer to ban the practice in July of 2009, stating "this kind of unfair access seriously compromises the integrity of our markets and creates a two-tiered system, where a privileged group of insiders receives preferential treatment."http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aO8DoToaITO8
