For well over a month, we've been seeing some rather shocking latency on our orders at Eurex. For the last few weeks, between a quarter and half of all of our fills have been taking several milliseconds (sometimes 40ms+!) for the exchange to match and send back an execution report (based just...

Presumedly, he's referring to the exchange designated MMs.

Are the immediate resubmissions going to the same venue? If not...that would certainly be the easiest place to start.

I have Dell Ultrasharps in one location and am happy. Make sure to really confirm though: what is sometimes listed as matte, may not be (or may be some type of hybrid matte, not a true matte). I also have a couple Acer B246WL which are slim bezel and matte and am happy with those as well. If...

@sle -- Did you find something that you're happy with?

I'm fairly certain that becoming a CTA doesn't by definition categorize you as an ECP. For an individual to be considered an ECP, there's a net worth qualification of 10MM USD. For an 'entity' to become one, in the event that you sought for your CTA business to qualify, I think the net worth...

Got it. As I was writing the last post, I was wondering what you were going to do re taxes. Something to have in mind...presuming that you don't spend 183 days in the US this year, you won't have to pay US taxes for 2017 tax year. Subsequently, that means you wouldn't have to worry about the...

If it was for a shorter time period, I would have highly recommended option #1. I sometimes have a tendency to procrastinate things...but for a few practical reasons, it may still be a good idea to consider option #1...to at least to begin with. 1. For starters, given your situation of...

Approximately how long are you going to be living in the US for? More than 2-3 years?

Granted, you may not agree with those people or share their sentiment...but I think @freedinner is spot on in describing the thought processes and decision making of that crowd. It's just like giving to The Clinton Foundation (or CGI, or whatever they're calling their racket these days), as...

The following point may be obvious, but since from your question it seems you're not familiar with these types of instruments, I'll mention it anyway... In the above example, you may have a big problem - depending on the conditions of your broker. Again, margin requirement for the given...

Hi Bob, The setup is for Eurex, and yes, we have a server sitting in FR2. Not sure I understood what you meant re platform. We have a proprietary grey/black box sitting in FR2 and I'm just looking for feedback on people familiar with the aforementioned two vendors. Our current vendor (for md...

Could anyone offer some feedback of the experience they've had with Object Trading and/or Celoxica? Our current solution for MD and Order routing is a mess, and our FCM has suggested one of these two, as they're already setup with them. We haven't heard back yet with a quote for Celoxica...

I'm curious...which other vendors are you seeing these people going to?

This article irked me a bit...or really the title to be more specific. Marketwatch is a publication of Dow Jones - so these are supposed to be professional news/reporting organizations.... so why does the title of the article include the words '...trader who claims...'?? claims?? Either the...

Thanks a lot for the message - I sent you a PM.

Thanks, I sent you a PM.

It could be that you missed what I said in my first post that I'm connecting via the TT FIX adapter - I'm merely using TT as a connectivity solution for my own system, so their interfaces, aren't such a concern for me. There are a few main outfits that do this: TT CQG - which I tried and was...

What you're saying is a bit too general. A cross connect won't magically make the TT infrastructure 'HFT-ready' - obviously. But, the difference between connecting via x-connect and via the internet (even from within the same DC) is rather drastic. The difference in speed is not negligible...

All this is very well and good. I'm willing to go along with the fact that TT's suite of products is fantastic and perhaps best of breed in the market segment (let's call that <$2,000 per month per user). I'd suggest that it'd be worthwhile for you guys to also make a considerably larger...
