Congrats asstard - because the exact opposite is what most of the other prop houses are running - wonderful software connected to a cup and string or even better yet - a satellite dish. Yay!! So what you have is a glacially slow connected, expensive software platform which, even if up 24/7 for...

To be honest - it's terrestrial IPVPN/Private line ATM with way less latency and an SLA behind the service - garanteed. When trading the LVL 2 window - milliseconds count - the first one in line gets the order. Does your ISP call you when your Internet service is down to say: "we're sorry...

I've been working with all the BM's for some number of years at Swift they are all constantly learning, as are the traders, in an ever changing world. From the decimalization to the .com bust to new markets to millenium to ECN's being swallowed up - it changes every few months. Then you have new...
