The Chicago office.... isn't that the one with the traders in India (Great Point / Maverick, etc.??). I read on another post that the Chicago office is trading in India. That's a huge bandwidth killer shipping data through your office to India, I am sure its taking a good chunk of your office...

LOL, good catch but its actually in line with what GenesisManagement said.... they haven't had one complaint since they made the change. Really???? Not even when ARCA's multicast lost its retransmission feed on Tuesday??? I'm sure removing multicast reliability caused ZERO ISSUES for them...

ha ha, very dilligaent by Genesis Management. I do trade at Assent, which I pretty much say in every post, but I also have accounts with etrade, light station and I have looked at laser. Which I also freely admit. I have WATCHED with my own eyes on fast stocks like GOOG and SPY when anvil...

I watch hundreds of thousands of orders remotely every day and never go down. Guys, STOP USING THE COMCAST TRIPLE PLAY TO SAVE $30 AND GET A REAL CONNECTION. Are you guys in the market to make money or save it???? If its the latter, check out ING Direct.... that'll make you a solid...

How do you know its not you?

Laser is pretty solid, except they dont show every quote move... or the entire depth of book. Its a temporary solution for hand traders, but once you move over to smart orders or native orders (that sit on Laser waiting for X condition) it will DRAMATICALLY hurt you. Does anyone remember...

What gives is that Lightspeed doesn't show you EVERY update like Anvil does. The market data spikes are HUGE right now.... like over 100MB EASY. So tell me, with some worthless 80-100K connection, how do you expect to handle that? So Lightspeed cant handle the spike either, but they dont...

AMEN!!! Good luck with the Fed today guys.....

WOW, did you tell anybody about this.... or did you just sit there cursing at your Commodore 64??? I'm not surprised people aren't jumping to help out with an attitude like that, I'm curious as to how you didn't get censored for that post.... No freezing, no crashes here..... it doesnt go...

Well, I have connections in the data center and I didnt lose anything today. Everyone out there is upgrading their internet connections (ECNs, exchanges, broker/dealers), it makes sense that at some point it will trickle down to your internet connection and then your PC. A cable connection is...

Yeah, they've been doing that for the last 2 weeks.... apparently Dell has some ridiculous backlog for the new Intel chipset.

Are you guys trading remotely???? I am connected through their data center and I did not see any huge issues today? What kind of PC and internet connection are you using?

Assent is the old Andover.... but has zero to do with trinix Assent gets their data direct from the feed providers, not Lightspeed

I've been trading with Assent/Andover for over 6 years now and have never seen issues like last week. However, after checking around and LOOKING AT ECN AND EXCHANGE web-sites.... its obvious that the problems happened all over the place, just not street-wide. NSDQ admits they have problems in...

Just a general rule of thumb.... if you see stale market data or stuck quotes, it could be a result of the market center. This is usually indicated by the fact the quote will disappear and then reappear at the same price and size. However, if you see the size and/or price change.... it...

Being a trading professional with market data directly from the exchanges..... its actually cheaper to get data from places like NYSE, if you don't subscribe real time. In fact, NYSE has another feed with a 3-second delay that costs FAR less then the NYSE Real-time Open Book How much money...

I would have to agree with this as well.... I know Steve for 3 years and Dave for about 4. Good guys, period. They don't stiff pay-checks and they definitely do not train traders. That's not what they do there, so if you require training look elsewhere. At least 100 traders, and by now, they...

Not in real-time, but for back testing I used real-tick data...... I find its easier and more cost effecient to just use the anvil market data. Beyond that, I use E-Signal for more in-depth info. No more hammer trade.... that thing was awful compared to Anvil!! Real-tick should link with...

I've been to a few different Assent/Andover offices and the 420 Lex is one of the bigger offices, but not the biggest. Technology wise, Hoboken is where everything happens. I could not agree more that you should look around and chat with some different offices, there are some very shady setups...

Yeah, I would tend to agree..... I demoed the Schon stuff and found it capable, but Anvil is way more customizable. Anvil is really geared towards keyboard traders, otherwise its "order tickets" for order entry. I also use the API for algorithm trading, its very sharp as well.
