I'd say getting an MBA after MFE is kind of risky. Makes you look less focused and kind of dilutes the value of either. Most places I know would...
Sounds like your background was much like mine. Might have even gone to the same school. Best bet would have been to join one of the major...
From the majority of comments I've seen I think it's safe to say that posting this on ET was perhaps not my brightest idea. In my defense, this...
Mid to high frequency trading company looking for a programmer who can push latency below 20 micros. We have several functioning strategies at...
First. From what I remember, message rates are per contract not per fill. so if you are quoting 100 lot you get to use 100 X as many messages as...
OK. I see where you are coming from. CBOE has issues because options are connected to stocks and the messaging rate is enormous. CME doesn't...
Serious? The CME going down from over messaging? Do you not have a sense of scale? The CME processes many orders of magnitude fewer messages...
Sounds to me like you should be moving away from IB. If you trade a lot (and it sounds like you do) their fees are very high. And it sounds like...
Interesting to hear IB shut you down. I was running similar ratios with them - even during the day and was always afraid of getting fined or shut...
If he were quoting inside market that would be totally true. He'd get killed. But then he wouldn't have to worry about message rates. You can...
I'm not sure how you can have the knowledge to be able to agree or disagree. I'm not saying your question is bad - in fact this was my exact same...
I can see why it's tempting to think so, but there are very few CME products that have market makers. Mostly options and the ones in this link....
For most products ratios are between 10:1 and 30:1. It's per product and the CME website has lots of documentation on it. Just search "messaging...
I second this. And in areas of the country that have high concentrations of extraordinary programmers very few of them are at all interested in...
About a year ago I posted some guidance about how I found a trading style and invited people to try it and let me know the results. To recap: I...
Trading options through a broker using an API more efficiently than IB is surprisingly difficult. Becoming a CBOE member is pretty capital...
Those countries are generally closed to foreign investment. US citizens cannot own their stocks. There are expensive ways around this for...
Oh how I wish it were a single server. Yes, HFT in that sense and in the fact that I can get excited about CBOE's move to NY4 because I think...
Yeah, there are a lot of strange funds in the Lamorinda/ Walnut creek area. Sometimes I bump into people from them. I don't know anyone else...
Danville, that's funny. I just moved from Danville to Alamo (huge long distance) last year. Used to live along Sycamore Valley. After doing...
