Why don't successful algorithmic traders do that?

If I had a working EA, I would share it with everybody, but with a small lag of maybe 20-30 seconds for every entry
this would ensure that the profits remain approximatively the same for everybody, but i would be still the first in the game
so my liquidity would be untouched.
but the amazing thing is that a lot of people would all enter in a Buy (let's say) a few seconds after my order is opened thus making the price go UP (which is what i'm looking for)
and if I want to exit, i'll then have a lot of liquidity (because a lot of people would be buying at that moment)
but why don't we see that happening ?
I really don't know
