Selling Order Flow is how they make money.
In October 2019, Robinhood gleefully announced to its customers, "Options Stop Limit Orders Are Here," a nifty feature which essentially puts trading on autopilot.
"That [stop limit] order is immediately sold to a high-speed trader who now knows where your intention is, where you would sell," says one former high-speed trader. "It's like you're writing a secret on a piece of paper and handing it to your broker, who sells it to someone who has an interest to trade against you."
