can individuals day-trade stocks using high-frequency trading (hft)?

i just finished a high frequency trading project. individuals can do it, but you need a lot of capital. you can get a managed server in times square for $1500/month, giving you access to 90% of the us exchanges that matter, their data farms are within 3 milliseconds of distance (latency). you can also get more servers in the same building as the exchanges, if you know where to look ;) thats all i can divulge good luck
