Mirus lays an egg

  1. milnarf, i'm not a mirus client - yet - there's order entry/hang
    problems being reported on the ninja forum
    mirus supplies zenfire to other brokers and we haven't as yet
    seen reports from their clients so is the problem limited to mirus ?

    repeat: additional Seven Ticks info / link ?

    7tick is a separate company from Mirus, but some of the ownwers
    also own Mirus, thus an affiliated company but separate due to tax reasons and liability. They provide Mirus and other firms
    IT data services to transmit bundled data to CME Globex.
    7tick errors is the reason for the recent trade rejections and data outbursts. Elliot has stated the problem is now fixed, but who knows. They do not have a link or a web site, just a small IT consulting firm separate from Mirus but affiliated.

  3. If you have such problems with Mirus should Amp users also not be affected ?!

    Both have their feed from Dorman, no ?

    " Tier 1 Research- 7Ticks expands to third Telx facility -Dan Golding - - excerpt
    Most of 7Ticks' business revolves around servicing firms that do business with the
    Chicago Mercantile Exchange/Chicago Board of Trade. The two key drivers for 7Ticks'
    expansion to New York were increasingly limited available colocation space in Chicago
    (T1R wishes them luck finding more space in New York) as well as an increasing list of
    New York-based customers who would like some sort of mediated access to Chicago
    commodities trading activities. T1R also wonders if the pending acquisition of the New
    York Mercantile Exchange by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange has anything to do with
    the expansion – it would be a logical move.
    7Tick's next expansion will take it to Germany, for interconnection with the Eurex
    Exchange in Frankfurt. Luckily, transatlantic fiber capacity is at an all-time low,
    cost-wise, which will facilitate these sort of Europe-bound expansions going forward. "

    " When connecting to Zen-Fire, the trader establishes a connection to
    rz000aa.7ticks.com in order to place orders and receive market data. (This is done
    through a process called by NinjaTrader when using File->Connect from theControl
    Center.) After the connection is established, packets will be transmitted from the rz000aa
    server to the computer. If blocked, the trader will be unable to connect to the server and
    will not be able to trade or receive market data."

    I've preferred using NT with x-trader feed, which I suppose, is up to your broker. I've seen dome start "rattling" during high vol periods with 'center' off and and on. I feel like a drunk trying to hit a bid or offer. Wish TT was less expensive. [the rattling was with Zen feed btw] Has anyone had similar experience, say comparing NT to TT ?

    I guess when a paid advertiser wants to get their point across, it is not considered SPAM!

    Don't you think you are going just a little overboard dude?
