  1. Hi Guys,

    Who can advise the best Broker for a small / medium HFT firm trading equities in the US. Key criteria:

    -Lowest latency
    -Co-location at exchanges
    -Offers data feed
    -Offers clearing option too

    Thank you

    No insult intended, but if you are a HFT firm looking for advice on how to break into the US equity market? Get bent. You're welcome.

  3. Wow Overnight, very useful - thanks! Actually we are already successfully operating as an HFT - just looking for feedback on other Brokers that offer these services.

    Agree 100% with this comment. The markets don't need any more HFTs producing noise.

    Plus ... DO YOUR OWN £@%@(%£ HOMEWORK !

    Give me a percentage of the profits you'll be scalping off your PFOF feeds from unsuspecting retail traders and I might consider helping you ! But otherwise, you're on your own chum, you're running a business, consider paying a professional advisor to be part of your business expenses !

    Sheesh ! The cheek of some people !

    Hi NewbyTrader,

    Our Gateway can handle all of the above except Options. For more information, email me directly. We of course offer options, just not through our Gateway.

  9. Robert, I sent you an email. Please check your spam if you don't see it in your inbox. I'm not interested in HFTs, but I do want to run a very simple algo that repeats up to 4 times with ultra low latency.
