    seeking the best Java real-time tick data level trading platform?

    I am very curious to know how high frequency they are doing with Java? I know C++ is faster, and I have some experience with it, and C is even faster. For example, your networking protocol is fundamentally in C. But I also know Java is easier to manage, so if Java suffices, I would like...

    I only need monitoring those amount of stocks, and not for placing the orders. Do I still have to use FIX? Of course, I like FIX, because it is data-vendor dependent. I can write once and reuse later when I switch data-vendor...etc. But not many data-vendors support FIX, am I right...
