You did not read my message. As I said I tried start myself via Rithmic. They latency from trade till report from exchange from 400 microseconds till 5 milliseconds. In peak time it's 5 milliseconds when I need entry.
I have no comments on the OP or his systems. But I just thought I will write on this particular system that you have pointed to. I don't think its fair to point out this system of his and saying he has zero risk management skills. Please look he started this system with 250$ and maximum equity was 8650$ in 2yrs 4mnths. Obviously he was taking huge risks but its important to see that he managed to be up for almost 2.5yrs with a smooth curve being so highly leveraged. I think this deserves a little appreciation. Ofcourse, with so much leverage, the account is bound to blow up one day.
I didn't ask anything substantive, just asking basic information. The fact that the Globex fee volume rebate increases profits over 67% shows how marginal this is. I wonder if Eugene has read the paper "Risk and Return in High Frequency Trading" by Matthew Baron, Jonathan Brogaard, and Andrei Kirilenko. In particular "While the median HFT firm realizes an annualized Sharpe ratio of 4.3 and a four-factor annualized alpha of 22.02%, revenues persistently and disproportionally accumulate to top performing HFTs, consistent with winner-takes-all industry structure. New entrants are less profitable and more likely to exit." I wouldn't want to try to compete in the emini HFT world without an experienced technology team and minimum $5 million in capital.
I trust myself first. And I know that it's possible with capital $250 000 and CME IOM leasing membership trade DMA. No need hire team - I'm able do quant, development & simple admin work.
