Quant trading is becoming immensely advanced very quickly. We're talking about split second trading, where the distance to the stock exchange servers are measured in nano seconds and physical meters, because the longer the network cabel the order has to go through, the slower it will reach the stock exchange and be processed.

I think it will work for a bit, but then when everybody does it, all arbitrage will be edited out and it will be a zero sum game. A few years down the road, I assume it will be banned or disappear because it will cost more than it generates and erodde all human stock market activity.
