Lawrence, 5Pillars: May I know whether there is anybody switching from Tradestation, eSignal, Wealth-Lab.. to Neoticker, SmartQuant.. purely for faster execution purpose ?
www.smartquant.com tied to XTrader is the top of the line operation for automated trading imo.....much better data and order execution speeds.
If you are interested in interest rate futures you need to look at intermarket analysis. I had a good thread on that a while back I can link you to. I even disclosed a bond system which has worked well for the past 8 years in this thread.

quality post nononsense. guy discloses a treasury bond system for free, which is more useful than anything you've posted in 4700 tries, and you come out with the personal attacks. good idea.

One of the more useful tick analysis is the detection of size trades at important price levels. The direction of those trades (buying the offer with size, or selling the bid with size) can provide interesting clues. Unluckily, for most pit traded instruments, actual size can only be figured out by the locals who see the trades happening. For electronic contracts, the smaller traders now have a level playing field as size is reported.
Most users who switch to NeoTicker are looking for specific features in the application. e.g. tick analysis, N-sec bars, etc. Pure execution speed limit is controlled by the brokerage and the connection, not likely an application side issue.
