So the IB FIX interface buffers messages to ensure correct RX sequencing?
The graphs make sense to me. Where's the contradiction? Got the URL for that story? Interested to see what niche is allowing Flash monkeys to...
This is so very true. Past the age of 35 you need to either be an expert in a niche area or making your way up the management ladder. If you are...
Swarm behaviour != random behaviour. This is a common misconception. Some are. Some aren't.
Well said. A point lost on so many on this site. Only rarely does the market clearly signal when a move is completely exhausted and about to...
FIX is just a protocol. How can it be stable or unstable? The implementation defines that. I would also appreciate it if you could explain to...
Define "true low latency". Any discussion regarding latency is pointless without numbers. For some 10ms is low enough as to be negligible, whilst...
These are wise words BM but I suspect the majority will fail to appreciate them.
I know the NYSE specialists (or whatever they are called these days) used to run both the limit and stop order books for their symbols. Is that...
Putting in a trap to detect sustained abnormally high freq order generation (which is indicative of an app locked in a loop) is really...
Yep. Terminal Services. There are far more things to worry about in this business than people stealing your IP. Take the usual precautions...
$200 per month If I was local I'd just rent the rack space and put my own box in but since I'm based in London I went for a dedicated Win2003...
Also can vouch for Steadfast. Reasonable prices for boxes/rack space in 350 E. Cermack. Latency to the Globex matching engines, which are...
Really? When I spoke to the Merc about it a few months ago I was told that all benefits conferred by the ECM-W scheme would cease. Have you...
Sadly the ECM-W scheme you are refering to comes to an end in Dec 2010. Only the ECM-H scheme will continue into 2011.
As someone mentioned earlier, once the fractional reserve genie was let out the bottle this was only going to head one way. The banking system is...
IMHO anyone who runs software unmonitored is insane. The no. 1 rule about the markets is that anything can happen at any time. There will always...
Why would I want to do that?
Good software developers are two a penny. Good software developers with in-depth knowledge of the markets are not. If you have the skills then...
No. Sorry. I'm not looking for a trading partner and I do not want to take an investment in anyone else's strategy. Tell you what though, it's...
Separate names with a comma.
