Random delays already exist.  The infrastructure of every exchange introduces them.  Its a standard part of any HFT model to think about what happens when you hit one.  It certainly doesn&#x27;t remove the speed game.<p>I think a better way to change exchanges is to dramatically decimalize the price levels.  Right now the difference between 2 price levels a) adds a floor to the minimum spread and b) prevents strategies from truly competing on price requiring them to compete on time.
