i make money trading, my questions are rhetorical. the purpose of which, is to give some of you who aren't particularly well-versed in market microstructure something to think about before making broad spectrum assessments like, "it's all illegal if you need to give a false view." what does...

your analogy to counter my example, isn't apples to apples. i'm not talking about a sucker. i'm talking about a designated mark maker making uncompetitive markets (a sophisticated market participant) who doesn't quote unless he can make money on the trade. making your example apples to apples...

if you post what platform, what route, and what route strategy you used to place the order you might get better answers. without that, hard to say what's going on.

how is it giving a false view of the stock, but the market maker quoting non competitive spreads isn't? if you've spent any time in etfs after hours, or illiquid ones at any time, you've seen how market makers will try and make the widest spread possible. which is fine, good on them, they...

the only one here with a reading comprehension problem is you. my comments stand. stop being such a douche.

i do this for a living. trust me, i understand what you're trying to do. if you're just trying to dump from memory to disk and back again in real-time, then a db is not the best tool for the job. just sayin.

a 3rd party db won't help you when you crash before you push the data to it. i'm still not seein the need here. if you want to do this correctly, you write a data server app that talks to your feeds, scrubs/filters/persists, and pub/subs realtime/historical out to your strats and guis. of...

i asked this question earlier in the thread.. then why don't you? you mentioned api's and open source libraries as a reason. what are you looking at doing where you'd be so willing to sacrifice that kind of performance to muck around with a 3rd party db? all of this fuss for a "performance...

wedbush with its recent acquisition of lime is another player here for equities. could you go into more details on those apex numbers? pm if you want.

while the above is probably true, it's only looking at one side of the equation. capital and risk being the other side. most of those cbsx firms that you're referencing with those payouts aren't going to be allocating more than 10-20x trader capital, or if they do, capping it at low $ amts...

i would think for a million a month, you'd be lucky to get $3 (assuming 100% payout to not add another variable).

right, you mentioned FIX earlier, which is why i asked... have never heard of anyone running a FIX engine over the internet.

why wouldn't you just continue to use your binaries? if you can push 6.5M ticks, i'd think you'd be competent enough to write yourself a loader/scanner ("cep engine"). my2c... hype and marketing slow down real work much more than they solve it. keep it simple. roll your own.

since don's group does a lot of intraday pairs, they're going to be making a lot of markets. they're not driving to church. hence the question. secondly, colo isn't that expensive, it's the feeds that are. since they're already setup through redi though, they'd be pulling through their server...

well, risk for one. sucks to have a huge book working orders and then some fiber outside of new york goes down. happened last year. but, thanks for answering the question.

i guess that's a no.

do bright or echo have colo options for their black box traders?

I've consulted with a tax attorney about this, and it's considered gray area. The reasons being: - the foreign person is not receiving distributions/profits at the brokerage level as a class a partner, they only are receiving distributions as class b partners based on their personal...

don't pay attention to sjfan. everyone has to learn at some point. the reason it's dificult to find information on GSX brokers, is that it isn't even considered an emerging market. in the business we call this a pre-fetal market. with the prefats, you can't just look up the broker on the...

BING.GSX my broker there is InUit Sled International (ISI). fills can be slow though.
