Anybody know who should be considered for institutional type platforms?

I can agree with Lou in some part. There are times when the entire system slows for no apparent reason. My code is complex so I expect some processing time, but I'm also running a 970 i7 Chip which is fairly speedy.

Same here. Besides with today's computers, it wouldn't take long for a computer wiz to quickly work up a batch of parameters nearly the same as the best possible for whatever parameter combo is out there.

Lou, Thank you for the reply. I am backtesting and loading charts using tick data. Could you offer in more detail where the problem comes in using tick data. I'm on NT 7 and so far everything seems to be working properly. I'm backtesting and loading tick data and classifying it on the...

Hi Guys, This is an old post I'm wanted to pull back into the forum because both software companies (NT and OQ) have upgraded since what I saw the last posting to be, in 2008 I think. Looking at Ninja Trader 7 (64Bit) vs OpenQuant software as a platform to develop and later run short...

Bolimomo: Thank you for discussing the SSD interfacing possibilities. As you correctly noted, the price listed for the drives was expensive on account of a higher quantity. Thank you for the shopping recommendations. I wanted at least (2) drives which are over (1T) of memory each because...

HA, the "2 ball" CPU is a cooling unit for the CPU. I don't know if I even need it but it's comparatively cheap and since I could see the CPU running at a high level of output for an extended period of time, I figured having a cooler is cheap insurance. Here's a link...

Lol, no gaming, only data crunching, hence the weak video card. The program I'm writing does statistical pattern finding and mapping with an AI reference bank so I want to be able to jam lots of numbers through with efficiency. On that note, I'm thinking to replace on of the hard drives with a...

I checked out the Ebay link. Its decent, here's what I'm about to build, looking for feedback before placing the order. 1 EVGA GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 01G-P3-1450-TR Video Card Item #:N82E16814130572 Return Policy: VGA Standard Return Policy $129.99 1 ZALMAN CNPS9900ALED 120mm 2 Ball...

This is true, but honestly, I'm looking to enter the market in competitive ways which contain some barrier to entry and it you can get an advantage in overall system performance by simply putting a bit more upfront, I'll take it. :)

Thanks for the link!

A reasonable question, granted. My CTA consist of several people and unfortunately a room full of computers. Since nothing we do is anything near HFT, and in most cases latency and momentary liquidity are not even a real concern as our positions are normally established over a longer time...

Thanks for the information.

Bump. Agreed, please offer info on the CUDA set up. Thanks!

Right now I'm running NinjaTrader 6.5 (soon to be 7 once out of beta). Our latest code has a lot of AI build into it where it constantly regenerates and references a recent data set as well as other technicals to provide a real time walk forward while placing trades. Its not quite maxing out...

I'm guessing they may design a 'clean system' but it'll probably be unlikely sufficient to perform the type of trading and feedback which most people who are investing in automated trading are willing to suffice with. I would consider it, but not trade it on anything faster than a day chart.

Truth be told, as one of the earlier posters noted, I spent considerable time trying design systems on the 'consumer' platforms (prodigio, wealthlab, ect...) which did not require any programming knowledge. After considerable frustration I bought a few books on C++ / C# programming and...

Has anyone had any experience or knowledge of traders using Nvidia's CUDA GPU technology? I'm thinking of building a machine with this to run faster data sets but don't know if it'll be worth the trouble, or if most trading softwares can operate with the large number of threads which can be...

That's who I'm currently approaching, but I just wanted to clear the market before committing.
