Again, you're contradicting yourself. First you agree that when every nanosecond counts, then C# is worthless (hell, even timing anything below 15...
I'm not going into details regarding my situation and code. I've done my own tests, both via observation and disassembling and have come to the...
Like said, the average C++ fix engine is way faster than the fastest commercial C# engine. I pride myself that the C++ fix engine that I've...
[/b] LOL and just a moment ago you said you didn't know a single hft firm that used FIX ? :D You're full of it. Anyway good luck to you and...
Anyway I'm getting a bit bored with this discussion. If you really believe C# can match C++ speedwise, then good for you. I wish all competition...
Oh really ? Did you measure that yourself ? I'd like to hear your results then :)
You obviously don't know that Nasdaq's own protocol does only support the most basic order types and not even routing. Oh well. Good luck with...
LOL. Then how do you send a routable order to nasdaq ? :) If you're really convinced about this, then you should consider building and selling...
What do you mean with messaging 'within a single box' ? I was talking about messaging between a client/server. Not sure what causes the slowness,...
Memory allocation and garbage collection alone make C# garbage. Just try to code a simple messaging (order sending) algo in C# and see how many...
Did you ever decompile .net code ? If you do, you'll probably change your mind ;) .NET just sucks when it comes to speed. I was talking in my...
Do you have an example of ASM code that works more efficiently than the code a C compiler generates ? I always thought as well that I could write...
I run a firm via Title Trading. They use Penson as well, hence I know what they can offer. I also investigated other options and saw other people...
A friend of mine followed the same reasoning. Instead of following my suggestion to go with a prop firm, he went to Goldman Sachs. They gave him a...
Most probably Penson will offer a way of insuring your money against bankruptcy. That way you'll still have your money when Penson blows up....
BTW, since you're in Canada: if you really want to put up 5M I'd suggest contacting Penson, I'm sure they can give you a great deal. Most Canadian...
The advantage of using a prop firm is that they can supply you the buying power. However if you're really willing to put in 5M yourself, you can...
Depends on what you want and where you live. Outside the US is easy: just contact an existing prop firm and say you want to join them and work out...
LOL. Swifttrade no longer exists (as the article notes as well). Good luck with a lawsuit against it :) Peter (again) was one step ahead ...
Sterling doesn't offer depth of ECN books (you won't see individual order sizes). Most ECN's sell these data to nonpro's as well (for example:...
