I've read both "Flash boys" and "Dark Pools". Do you have any other book recommendations on this subject?

I don't have enough technical knowledge about HFT to refute your arguments.

However, thinking logically about the whole HFT business: As I understand it it's something like this:

Let's say I want to buy 100 apples at $1 a piece. A middle man comes and says: I see that you want to buy 100 apples. Let me buy them for you. Here they are (an apple is now $1.001)

Why do I need this middle man to steal from me? You will probably say that they are providing liquidity. It's still stealing and the markets had enough liquidity before the whole HFT gang came.

Maybe I'm wrong, if so please explain me why.

That's exactly what I was thinking. When high frequency traders are doing it it's OK but when this guy tricks them into actually taking some risks it's fraud.
