anybody hooked up to the new eurex feed, where info is disseminated CME-style instead of the "pulse" or "netted" format?
Are you talking about the upgrade of their lines ? Already in place ? Should not everybody have benefit from this ?
Most of the big London prop houses are on the new feed but as they all use TT 6 (because TT 7 crashes several times a day and hasn't passed stability tests) it's not seen in real time. Think ecco are the first to show this "real" update. The frontend software vendors are still playing catchup with the new eurex feed integration.
Well apparently the biggest group of traders on it in one pro place is 12, and they're having nightmares, TT know this and are trying to iron out the bugs with them before installing it to heavier users. The testing of 300 traders all submitting orders in busy market conditions causes it to be unstable. I only know what the IT guys say but at the moment they say we really don't want it. Saw the first eurex slow down today for a while when the ecb sources story came out, 2.15pm London. The cable might be fatter but there's still a bottleneck somewhere, several other houses had the same issue
the slowdown was evident even for people on the new pipe? im on TT 7 and have no problems with it. theres only a few other traders on the server with me also though.
