    IAS_LLC, sounds like you are using shared memory within a C++ app across threads. Is that correct ?

    What I have works between C++ and Java and am fairly confident in it continuing to work - the major effort now is to serialize NxCore's C++ structs (to shared memory/memory mapped file) and deserialize on the other end in Java. There are I think 50+ such structs; so I will probably write a code generator. Not a big deal, but it is still work if you know what I mean.

    I run Linux and I am aware Wine can run NxCore just fine. So far, I've been using Nanex's native Linux client in samples and it worked just fine. Their real-time Linux native client is supposed to land in Q3 and I fully expect delays. Until then, the plan is to continue building the rest of my system.

  2. Yeah, I have one strategy that is latency sensitive and I would have switched to them if the equities data server was in NJ. They said it was in the works and I nagged them about it for a couple years (a few years ago), but eventually gave up. Since I'm always around 1000 tickers or so on any given day, I don't see much difference between NxCore and IQFeed once the data routes from NJ -> Chi -> NJ (my server). I always thought that was silly but I'm sure they have business reasons for it.

    I also would have been more likely to switch if there was a java api, fwiw.

    Redi has a FTP site for API docs. There are a lot of documents there. Contact them and ask for access. They might make you go through your broker.
