Is VHDL the predominant language for FPGA use in finance or is Verilog also used (I've never used Verilog). I actually know C, C++ (too many people list C/C++ as though they're the same -- they are not and I know the differences as I learned C years before C++), assembly, and VHDL and am...

This is a good idea -- someone should create an organization that has access to get data from and send trades to these different exchanges and allow people to trade through this organization without comingling accounts so as to share the costs of the underlying infrastructure, exchange...

I've been looking for a provider for a full OPRA broadcast as well as US equities. Getting futures data is not something I've looked in to. You say you don't want a symbol limit, but that substantially limits your choices to higher end(/priced) products. The cheapest provider I could find that...

Right so that particular RealTick is quite a bit more expensive than IQFeed. I didn't even bother contacting sales to get a price on API access, but API access requires their "RealTick Pro" subscription, which is $300/mo (plus exchange fees). Compare this to IQFeed which is $75/mo (plus exchange...

While RealTick isn't specifically mentioned, there's another thread started last month that is probably relevant. http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/another-thread-on-real-time-data-api-solutions.299375/ There's a number of companies that offer data under the name "RealTick", so...

Thanks for the reply. I didn't realize the disparity would be that much based on what feeds you're getting. iqfeed for example has a base fee + a nominal amount more for options ($20 iirc), but perhaps it's a much larger jump for additional instruments on NxCore. $450 actually sounds reasonable...

Where did you get the cost of Nanex at $450/mo? Is this NxCore or some other product? I've not contacted them about pricing, but I've seen numbers posted different places anywhere from $600 - $1500/mo. Yours of course is the lowest. At $450/mo that price it actually is interesting to me...

Some exchanges actually support hidden orders, so no broker is going to show those for you. It's also possible that the times you received a fill at a price better than the quoted NBBO is because they were selling your order flow. When your order is routed to an entity (ie citadel) who is buying...

I will need to come up with a way to succinctly address this in my cover letter or adjust my resume to emphasize this somehow. Thank you for your insight on this! Surprisingly many jobs actually are listing that they want a degree and/or experience (with 5-7+ being common) and while a lot say...

To add, as I said earlier, I'm not doing this because I'm trying to make a lot of money, although that would obviously be a nice side benefit. A few of the companies actually had salary ranges listed and I already make at the high end of those ranges. With the increase in cost of living in...

I try not to brag much, but I am a hot (although not young) mind. I'm CTO for a tech startup in Chicago (I work remotely aside from a few weeks a year I go to Chicago), although I only have 4 developers for now (trying to hire). I'm an inventor on a few patents, have published research, and am...

I found a number of companies on that list that had open positions that emphasized low latency and/or had FPGA positions opening. Basically I figure if a company has FPGA positions open, then it's probably a low latency company -- I actually built a MIPS based CPU in a FPGA using VHDL about 12...

I actually live in Pennsylvania, although in the middle of the state (not near Philadelphia) -- I am willing to relocate. I did look at Susquehanna, but the job opening for C++ developer didn't seem to emphasize low latency. Their other developer positions referenced technologies such as C#, so...

I'm creating a spreadsheet with a list of HFT firms and going through the jobs to ensure they really are HF and not just slow trading, taking notes of pros/cons I see of them. I've found about 10 that sound like what I'm looking for so far, but there's not like a directory of them that I'm...

In short, I'm wanting to apply for developer jobs at HFT companies and would appreciate anyone giving me names of HFT companies in Chicago or otherwise outside of NYC (or a NYC company that will let me work remotely) that are worth working for. Thanks! Longer: So today is my 33rd birthday and...
