I am primarily into Linu; some of the standard techniques that we normally use in such situation might help you… 1. Write a python/ant cron job (win equivalent) that kills the sterlingpro process at a certain time of the day and restarts in at a certain type. In linux we normally issue a “kill...

All I can say is poor design on the part of sterling if it crashes your system after logging you out. You can develop a heart beat/watch dog type of of script based system to take care of the restart issue in a planned fashion... but yes, its a lot of work and testing on your part...

sorry.. I missed the action... do you mean there is no liquidity in the market... especially in the bids/asks?

Read books/join courses and start trading with a small account ($5000 and no more). First learn how to trade successfully with atleast 10-20% returns "consistently" for a few months. OTA got too much bad press; they do teach you enough that gives you a perspective on what is going on at the...

My two cents: I have used LightSpeed before. They have two types of APIs... (1) lightspeed trader plugin API (2) Another secure API or something that directly talks to their servers bypassing the lightspeed trader application. I was also looking at starting connecting my ATS with their servers...

IB would have been my first choice but for the need (if I understand it correctly... please correct me here?) to keep tws turned on all the time. IB-FIX is not an option right away. I would like to have my 24x5 running ATS fire orders and I keep an eye on them once in a while through a trading...

Hi Everyone, The futures based medium frequency ATS I have been working on should have it ready in a few weeks from now. I am considering going with one of the brokers that offers Rithmic infrastructure. I have a couple of strategies that require one minute candles. I create my own charts with...

Hi Everyone, Newbie here... I would like to setup a strategy where a bracket order gets triggered only when the price hits a certain number... is there any software that lets me do this? For example, I would like to setup a rule stating the following: if price hits $10.02, setup an...

Where are you located at? I am based in CA and $ping gw1.ibllc.com returns a 94ms.

Hmm... I was only considering coloation, but VPS sounds to be a better alternative as well. I am trying to understand all the possible approaches I can be realistic about. If I may ask, what data feed are you using? Looking at your monthly costs, I assume that you are using one of the Active...

Ok, now, I see three different setups here: 1. Casual setup with $300-1500/month (inhouse/colo+datafeed etc) tech cost that at max can get to a latency of about 5-10ms from Trade TO Order placement ( say TTOO delay) as promagma mentions 2. Hardcore (LLT) setup below 5ms hedge funds etc 3...

ofthomas & Swan Noir Yes, as you have suspected, I do not have much trading experience and yes, I am a newbie. Here’s what I am trying to accomplish: Understand ULLT/colocation and use this knowledge to design a multi-strategy (strategy agnostic) trading system first. I shall start with...

Garachen, Thanks for the response. You are correct in some sense, but I want to approach this in a phased manner. As the first step, I am going to stick with nxcore and design the trading system in house, get it running and move it to a colocation. I shall phase out/replace nxcore data feed...

Ok, I have got more confusing information and I need your expert advice. It appears that Rithmic routs its orders to BATS where as lightspeed gives different routing options. Is this something that you consider as a serious limitation? As I understand BATS has about 12% of all the trading volume...

Hi Everyone, I am looking at designing a medium frequency automated trading system. After reading these forums, I have a few unanswered questions and so any advice is highly appreciated. System Specs: • 50-100 trades/day (stocks initially) • Custom designed from scratch •...
