Flash Boys

Inspired by the true events uncovered by Michael Lewis

FLASH BOYS – A Story of Speed, Secrets, and Justice

Page 1 – The Invisible Game

In the heart of New York City, inside the glowing towers of Wall Street, a silent war was taking place. It was not fought with weapons or armies. It was fought with speed.

Every morning, traders arrived before sunrise. Screens flickered with numbers, green and red lights danced across monitors, and millions of dollars changed hands in the blink of an eye. To ordinary people, the stock market was a place of investment and opportunity. But beneath the surface, something strange was happening.

Brad Katsuyama, a calm and thoughtful trader, began noticing something unusual. Whenever he tried to buy shares for his clients, the price would suddenly rise — just before his order was completed.

It was as if someone could see his move before he made it.

He was not losing by much. Just a few cents per share. But those cents added up to millions of dollars. And the money wasn't disappearing into thin air. Someone was taking it.

The Race for Speed :

Brad soon discovered the secret world of High-Frequency Trading (HFT).

In this world, trading firms did not rely on human instinct. They relied on machines — powerful computers that could trade stocks in microseconds. These firms built straight fiber-optic cables across states just to save a few milliseconds.

That tiny fraction of time was worth billions.

These firms used algorithms to detect large orders from investors like Brad. The moment Brad's system tried to buy shares, HFT computers would detect the signal, rush ahead to other exchanges, buy the shares first, and then sell them back to Brad at a slightly higher price.

Brad felt something inside him shift. He had entered finance to help investors. Now he realized the system itself was quietly exploiting them.

He could have ignored it. He could have accepted it as "the cost of doing business."

Instead, he decided to fight.

Building Something Different :

Brad gathered a small group of brilliant outsiders — programmers, engineers, and financial thinkers who were not afraid to challenge Wall Street.

They studied the system carefully. They mapped how orders traveled between exchanges. They measured speed differences down to the microsecond. What they found shocked them: the market was fragmented, complex, and easily manipulated by speed.

If speed was the weapon, then fairness needed a shield.

After months of work, they built something radical — a new stock exchange designed to slow things down slightly.

That tiny delay would prevent high-frequency traders from racing ahead. It would create equal footing for everyone.

Resistance and Revelation :

The launch of IEX was not easy.

Large institutions questioned it. Financial media debated it. Some powerful players tried to discredit Brad's team.

But something unexpected happened.

Investors began listening.

Pension funds. Mutual funds. Everyday retirement savers. They realized that if the market was slightly unfair, their savings were being quietly drained every day.

The Meaning of Fairness :

The story of the Flash Boys is not just about trading. It is about courage.

It shows that even in a world ruled by money and machines, human integrity still matters.

Brad Katsuyama could have chosen comfort. He could have earned millions quietly. Instead, he chose risk — for the sake of fairness.

High-frequency trading still exists. Technology continues to evolve. Markets are still complex.

But because of a few determined people, investors today ask harder questions. Regulators look more carefully. Transparency matters more.
