Sorry to ask again... So there is really no one out there using Strategy Runner? Markus

Hello! Does anyone here use Strategy Runner (www.strategyrunner.com) as platform to run self developed trading systems? I did write my own PATS API based application to execute my strategies but to make unattended trading possible it would be necessary to add that much more intelligence...

Nitro, I like (and use) the Pats API for my own trading application, too. Talking about stability I am very pleased with that solution, too, but I have some issues with unsuccessfull reconnects after disconnects due to package losses. My broker's primary ISP is cogent and it seems that the...

Would you mind to give some more details? I did not find anything meaningful in the net. Thanks a lot!! Markus

You get two versions of the API - a live version and a demo version. You develope against the demo version. If you do not book (and pay) additional test server time the conformance test is the first time the application is connected to a server. The test follows a test procedere which is well...

Well, I do not know that much about other API's, so I will concentrate on the PATS API. Sorry for not going into to much details - the API is distributed under a NDA. The API offers all options the J-Trader front end does, e.g. receiving real time depth of Market information, placing...

I am with RCG (IB: eLocal) for more than a year now using J-Trader but mainly a self written trading frontend. As my application uses the same Patssystems API as J-Trader my experiences should be the same as for JTrader users. Until now I never noticed any lost fills / orders. But I do not trade...

The clearing is done by RCG (Rosenthal Collins Group). I do not know if you have to pay the extra fee for phone orders even if there is a technical problem on their side - in the cases I used the order desk I had no access to the internet or I had problems with my connection (e.g. my...

I am with eLocal for half a year now and I am very happy with them. J-Trader is a great product and the connection to the server is stable. I never experienced any problems in reaching their trading desk and placing orders over the phone (e.g. when being abroad). IMHO the service they offer...

Another problem with satelite communication is latency. There are areas in which this is not a problem (e.g. if you download large files), but for trading you will definitly look for something else. What about ISDN? Regards, Markus

Mark, what Do you exactly mean with "intergrating your trading system with their platform"? As far as I know it is possible to develope own applications against the Pats API. This is of course a way to implement an ATS with Pats technology. Are there other options for integration? Regards...

riskless, the concept of having a very fast server which hosts the trading plattform would be ideal as basis for an ATS. In this case the latency of the Citrix connection would not do any harm as all trading decisions are directly made on the server. Do you offer such a feature? Best...

riskless, for me there is no doubt that FFastFill is a performant system. But the stats you posted are perhaps a bit misleading as they do not include the delay between the Citrix Metaframe Server and the traders Citrix Client. It depends on the distance between Citrix Server and Client and...

Well, if you use the stand alone version of TWS it should not be that big problem. I run both on a single Win2k system. Just make sure that Java 2 v1.4.0 is disabled in the IE advanced options menu (otherwise J-Trader will not run). Hope this helps?! Markus
