LOL, I wonder if the guy got greedy... I know one fund that closed that the owner did it the other way around... he basically continued to hire his programmers to continue supporting the software that managed his money... dood had close to 1b... and he likes money so he kept on at it...

from experience, well... what we do ... we own the servers, we rent the floor space(cages) or racks... those are locked... access to the facilities is limited to (and I mean this) like 3 people within the LLT team... they are escorted in, and out... the facilities are usually CCTV protected...

just remember... Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered and options are not hard when you have the underlying... assuming you close half your position, it will cost you $1500 to protect the remainder with a July 28/30 putspread ... your min profit would be around $7K...

I would say, within the context of this thread... co-lo is simply to bring your infrastructure as close as possible to your source/target as it is required by your strategy... in some cases that might be sub-ms, in others.. not... I think we can all agree with that...

nope, again... read your own definition... which matches my own... what you guys are adding, which is only to financial services, is that is specific to a building.. when it is not... any server in any data center, when leasing/renting space, is being co-located... any server in financial...

keep in mind I am not referring to the trading setup, I am just referring in general... I have a NG GenSet for the house, It power a subpanel for the stuff I care about, manual switch though... I have a backup LP GenSet, in case the the NG is cut off for whatever reason... I was out about a...

you are correct about this, the context is important... but it would be ignorant to classify co-lo just to a single context... in trading co-lo just means proximity to your source (in this case the pieces of the puzzle that make LLT/HFT take place)... which is why you co-lo per venue..

get a backup DSL connection and place your router and modem on UPS as well... that is what I have... my cisco(and I dont mean linksys) ISR allows me to failover from Cable to DSL...it works great, my cable goes out like clockwork every day at around 4AM EST... sometimes I am up working at that...

IMHO, slippage is a function or how fast the market is moving, the spread, and if your order type... latency will merely reduce/increase your position in the queue ahead or behind of the people who saw the condition before you did and were able to react before you ever did... oh, when I mean...

I will speak as an IT guy... the co-location term is generic and implies your server is being co-located at a data center facility along the servers of a hosting provider and that you are renting floor space(cages) or rack space. you are assuming co-location, as a term, is specific to...

NetTecture pretty much stated the reasons for colocating, specially when doing ATS... now, one can do VPS or physical, I prefer physical... in my case I have two Co-Lo's... one in CHI and another one in NYC... why? why not... I had the servers, colo is $100 per U with 3Mbps outgoing and...

look at this instead, well worth the $200... http://trading-journal-spreadsheet.com/tjs-elite/ I have used it for a long time now...

if i was in your situation, i would take off half my position, and hold the other half while buying puts around your entry price... first off, the stock has not been $40 since 2000.... in 2008, it reached $37... it went around $32 back in 2010 twice.... and again in 2012... maybe it goes...

i dont think that guy will ever come across... sadly... :( ... more than likely he is out and about playing with all his toys and enjoying life... on another note... Tuttle (TWM)... they are at regus... if you have $100M AUM... why in hell wouldnt you have your own space? heck, even I used to...

my investment window is 3 years for a system, I still keep them around even after that.. I give them away to family and such... long ago, I would swap every year... price/perf does not matter if you just do it for the write off more than anything else.

i dont disagree with you, and the calhawk01 guy didnt bother to state how he would use it... but said fastest, so technically, i7 itself isnt, unless one tweaks it... in any event, as I stated... it all depends on the workload... it is pointless to have the fastest if all you are doing is...

i7 is by no means the fastest CPU per say, but if overclocked, and depending on the workload, it sure can be...

hmmm... you didnt answer any of my questions, so not sure what i can help you with... my suggestion, there are a few threads that deal with any questions you might have where everyone has exposed their opinion... just review those.

what platform you use? what is your timeframe? what is your budget? do you really need fastest? cuz you will be looking at around $5K... depending on who you get...

you can always say you worked a small family fund ... :)
