We have been upgrading our servers in Chicago over the past 3-day weekend, and had some issues with our upgraded servers from about 2am until 7am this morning, primarily CME and CBOT. We regularly upgrade servers every 2-3 years to increase speed. Due to those issues, we had to bounce all of...

The problem was that we(VF) were sending out bogus data to our customers at such a large rate (basically 5X normal peak market open conditions) from the CME and CME-A servers that it could have caused slowness on other exchanges also even if you were not using the CME. For Compression...

This abnormally high 500% of normal output of data from our servers this week has been resolved. We are now running normally again at 15-20% utilization vs. the peaking at over 100% due to CME and CME gateway issues. I will post more information when it becomes available. Thank...

RedRat- Due to us running parallel version 6 and 7 FIX environments until all Version 7 FIX issues were resolved completely, we have had to have double the hardware for FIX... But now, as of the last month we are done with Version 6 and will have extra equipment to dedicate to developers...

Statement from Velocity: Due to the liquidity issues that have been discussed in the press recently, Velocity feels that it is important to reassure our customers and potential customers of Velocity’s continued health and financial stability. The situation regarding Sentinel Management...

During the next 30 days thru 11/27/2006, Velocity is dropping the price of Ninja Trader from $4.25/RT to $3.50/RT. This is for ALL Ninja trader customers including those already at Velocity. This is to allow for an extended beta period for customers to give Ninja and Velocity Feedback...

This post needs some clarification... The way that the commissions work at Velocity is that you can either have the "FREE" X_TRADER where the commissions cover the cost of the "FREE" X_TRADER OR you can have a volume discount for X_TRADER Subscription (the kind you pay monthly for). What...

The fees for colocation are not set yet. We are still working on posting a complete fee schedule. I can say that if you are doing more than 10,000/month it will probably be free. If no volume, or just data collection or development, probably be somewhere about $600/month for 1U of space...

Yes, that is correct, there is no fee except for any fees you would pay for the quant developer suite, if that is what you are using... Jay

We are currently planning a December 1st release of a Fix 4.2 compliant gateway into the CME, CBOT, EUREX, EUREXUS, ICE, and LIFFE. We have chosen the TT FIX Adapter because of speed and functionality to all the exchanges. If you are interested please open and fund an account. To check it...

Ok...so generally about 90% of the traders loose money in futures trading...and generally the odds can't be that bad. And prop traders generally make more money...ie, a higher profit percentage due to more strict controls... So...assuming that these things are true..for the sake of...

Neodude- To answer your question, about the trainer, TT does have this feature available...the ability to record a really cool day like a fed announcement and play it back to you real time...the only problem is that TT does not have charting ..**yet...so you have to get some chart package...

Talked with Eurex US today. The market making program for the interest rate products is closed to 20 MM in August. They are still going to distribute 5 Million dollars proportionally to the traders who do 1000+ per day for 15/20 trading days per month. Next year it will be 20% of profit...
