I was not trying to speak badly about Dimension or any other platform, I am giving my educated opinion after spending years doing research on different platforms. I think I also mentioned why I prefer Assent and that is because of speed and performance. To your questions: 1) Yes, there...

I did not do the entire programming for the API, I have done some maintenance since it was created.... but I think you need to use a professional programmer who understands the MOST EFFECIENT way to program. Any novice or intermediate programmer can write a "black box", but if it does not take...

I don't know, its pretty dangerour to do any automated trading if you are not an experienced programmer. The primary purpose of automated trading is to capitalize on speed and if your program misses information or crashes, you could get hammered on a position! Honestly, if you want to do...

Wow, i coul not disagree with you more. when i racked my machines in their data center, i got a quick tour.... entire data center is wired with fiber cable, they have the top of the line routers and they have t-1 and ds3's exclusively for connectivity. my tests to-market were under 40...

Not sure how important speed and performance is to you...... but the delay of market data and sending your order from other locations can be off by several seconds if you leave the NYC area. I have a trader in Miami and 3 in Tampa Bay, they routinely receive slower quotes and orders are...

I have heard of Jasper Capital, in fact I was at a holiday party with one of the guys who works with Jasper Capital and their broker.... awesome guys, but we never talked commissions etc. I have heard some good things about them before, ranging from nice office perks to low rates. Again, I...

I work with Assent on a daily basis and they seem pretty good... good risk mgmt, excellent speed, etc. I have experience with Dimension and did not like the automated software options I had there. Did you make it to Bright yet? Pretty curious how they look.....

LOL, hope I don't get busted for being a new poster.... guess I just outed myself! Anyway, I agree with pretty much everything you guys have said so far. I work with Assent's API and previously used some of Instinet's products, as well as a few smaller brands that had low, low commisions but...

I use it everyday, there is w/o a doubt an API that Assent uses. It directly hooks into their trading platform, Anvil. I speak with their software dept frequently, you can contact the software manager at 201-356-1410. I also believe they have a HUGE LA presence, I am sure the...

I have always found Assent's API to be quite robust and their infrastructure to be excellent..... do you have a certain part of the system that is not working well? I have also found there support to be pretty good with technical issues.... I guess I just find it easy to code with, and the...
