Okay, given the number of members, I guess it wasn't around yet when I was really searching for one over a year ago. I've already converted stuff...
Wow. You see it clearly. It seems that's why the tick zoom folks are restricting access to outsiders. They decided the architecture itself is too...
Are you looking for performance? It's hard to believe anybody can beat tickzoom if you care about performance. I tried it with 100 million...
You have a point. Still, if you're fighting a war (which you are in trading) how willing would you be to share your central processing system...
Frankly, I thought so too. But with the amount of money in the industry, it makes you wonder. IMHO, it has become clear that the real problem in...
Hmmm. If you can get in, you might like tickzoom. It's commercial open source which means it avoids those petty problems but instead it has a...
Wow. You obviously trade a lot of volume. Thanks for sharing your experience! The fundamental problem you're facing in this industry is...
But your requirements are so impossible to fill in this industry that it's funny. There's are zero open source trading platforms with a "large...
Ahh. Got it. That makes a lot of sense. You probably need something open source to do that or else just roll your own entirely. It seems...
May I chime in too? The brokers APIs allows you to use any of the instruments they trade. You just have all the complexity of trading...
And of course, you're right. if we write it ourselves we have more control. But, nowadays I always look at anything open source first....
1) tickzoom only handles one symbol so far even though it has decent (and fast) portfolio trading. All the strategies run in the same instrument...
I hesitate because even though it's fast, it only supports one symbol and only one broker for now. Although much of it is open source so if you...
Oh, you mentioned multiple instruments. That's one limitation of the one I mention. It doesn't have multiple symbol support yet. You can't...
Oh. For real. I tried it. you're right. But it's awesome for discretionary stuff. If you really care about speed, I tried one system that...
What's funniest is that the bottleneck in historical testing for most all these platforms is the software--not the CPU. Most of these platforms...
Scalable in what way? Number of trades? Number of instruments? Number of servers? Hmm.
You lost me here. Can you take this step-by-step? Sounds interesting.
It looks like there's only 4 or 5 users of tickzoom. A post just appeared on their forum that they're closing access to the public in 24 hours....
Correct. My scaling works differently for trends and then for counter trend or chop strategies. In one case, I scale in and then gradually...
