    I have submitted the entire audit log for two trades. The exchange and the CFTC require that we have this log implemented. I get these reports every day. They are confusing in how they state From CME and To CME but the gist of the entire report is the total time from Submit to the last line...

    We do not allow access to our Data Center for ATS at the moment and the reason is: I am very reluctant to allow my servers to overloaded by constant inputs of orders and pulls. It can be done, but we have designed our network for speed and I believe that an ATS should be sgregated form trader...

    All I was looking for was the log a fully executed trade? The attempt at insulting you was obviously a bad move on my part. Sorry about that! This forum is very good and I do not want to be on here to just sell my product. Right now I stress speed in my posts, because when I ask traders to...

    Just put your full audit log for a complete trade and veritfy it! Don't make claims that IB is just as fast until you do so! I run FFastFill after trading for over 11 yeasr at a firm even larger than IB. I ran an Electronic trading group in London that dominates the Market, so I still see you...

    Wrong! Look at Line 1 tthough Line 3 and compare that to .21. 07:40:18:250 CME From Client 07:40:18:263 CME To CME 07:40:18:263 CME To Client 07:40:18:530 CME From CME 07:40:18:530 CME To Client 07:40:18:610 CME From CME 07:40:18:640 CME To Client There is no...

    WRONG AUDIT TRAIL!!! CME takes at least .25 seconds on their side. They require every ISV to have an Audit Trail that records: 1. When you hit the Workstation Key 2. When the Server sends the order(1+2 = .10 by FFastFill) 3. When the CME Reports the order (3 = CME matching= .25)...

    Have you looked at or heard anything about FFastTrade or FFastFill? Ask the ex TT and Ex GL Traders in the FFasttrade Office what they think?? VERY DIFFERENT EVALUATION!!!

    Audit Logs are the best way of measuring speed on the CME. FFastTrade turns CME trades around in under .46 seconds. Audit Logs don't lie. They are vital information, if you are interested in Speed!! If you need to see proof, go to the Firms that are claiming Speed and ask for the Audit Logs...

    George, Wondering when you saw the FFasttrade GUI? First time I have heard anyone say that the Front-end is bad. I evaluate it every day and unless you have a had a chance to really TRADE on it, I don't think comments like that are appropriate. I would know if you ever really used it and I...

    Def is certainly right on the most important factor in speed and reliabilty. It is Back-end routing. Questions to ask: What type of connections do the Service providers use for EXCHANGE CONNECTIVITY? (Each FCM or IB use different versions-Platfrom does not dictate this) ie the CME has 3...

    FFastTrade is month to month and your account is debited at the beginning of the month. You can choose to take a month off, but you need to declare this on the first of every month.

    You asked about the worth of speed and the answer is: Speed is very important if you are constantly looking for the edge. If you are a LEVEL trader, meaning you pick your spots and place your orders, a less costly web-based solution like J-Trader or FFastNet is sufficient. In most cases...

    I believe that you found your answer on the Citrix Website. Citrix is faster and more reliable, but it cost more for the Vendor. That is the reason why it is only used by FfastTrade at the moment.

    Currently the CME's matching engines are consistently turning trades around in less than a half second. They had a Technology User Group meeting the other day and they announced the results of their monitoring. The FIx 4.2 API (ILink) is the now the fastest. In a matter of months, all ISV...
