    Through the API, not yet. We are working on it. I expect before year end.

    Cool. How about latency?

    I can provide that directly. Since we have emailed and talked in the past, just email me. The service is Hosted on AWS in Northen Virginia so any ping test would be from there to the NJ data center where our OMS and servers are located.

    Interesting, why Northern Virginia?

    That is the closest AWS to NJ. We offer Virtual Private Servers located in both NY and Chicago through QuantVPS, a sponsor here on Elite Trader for automated customers to get closer to our service. Their current pricing is much lower than AWS and they provide customer service to their users that AWS does not. https://www.quantvps.com/. I hope soon to have a link on the Lightspeed Website to get a discount on their service.

    Nice - I love the simplicity of it. What would happen now if you tried to short sell with no locate?

    The ETB list today had 6038 symbols. I email to my automated traders that list about 7:45am ET each day, that they can query. They can also email the trade desk and request a locate from our inventory at Wedbush. That is our process right now with this API. We have access to 3 premium locate providers on Lightspeed Trader and Sterling Trader Pro, but that is a manual window. The plan is to get access to those through the Lightspeed Connect API and any more we add later.

    No way to connect to Lightspeed directly using this API?
