In all of the years I have traded the NASDAQ and all of the time I have either been screwed or fighted from being screwed, I have never encountered what happened to me today. This morning (1-19-06) at 9:39:21 I by accident traded 200 shares of WBPRK. 100 shares long at 150 and 100 shares...

Hey everyone, i'm looking for brokers who have co-location at HFC. I have been there personally to witness the masses of computers, so I know there are a bunch. I only know of a couple and am looking for others. Thanks.

Does anyone here know of a broker that has co-locating facilities at HFC( Harborside). Thanks.

"2. Pentium are better for multithreaded processing than AMDs." Pentiums are not a better processor. If you HAVE to use a Pentium, turn OFF hyperthreading. I think people here could vouch for this in alot cases that HT slows things down.

I remember when we ported to QNX. It was a complete waste of time........

Well, I think we are comparing apples and oranges here. I think the most latency in your execution path will be your finger clicking on the mouse. You more than likely are using Windows for an operating system, so there is an inherent latency there no matter what. You can do things in...

Hey, i'm happy as hell if they all run at 80 milliseconds. No complaints here. God bless 'em.

"1. short without checking inventory (they are market makers). 2. unlimited buying power so no checking for buying power cuz they can. Latency, well they eliminated that latency and have only. 1. quotes- depending?? uncontrollable* but just say 40 milscecs 2. executions: ecn's, market...

I haven't traded with CNBC on or television for that matter since Marci Rossell. Man didn't Kudlow hate her.......

"Ask Susquehanna, Citadel, Autodesk if they have latency? " Sometimes, the bigger you are, the more you overlook the smallest things..........and those make the biggest difference sometimes especially when you find 10 of them. Added together and you have something out of nowhere.

I agree with you 100%. It says they are willing to look. That's all I wanted.

Maybe I do know what I am talking about and the only reason I stuck my neck out like this was to raise awareness within the investment community so that brokers will take action. It's starting to work now. I know what I need FOR ME. That's my specialty. If you don't believe me, that's cool...

Well, interesting development: Since I have started this thread, ONE broker has come forward and allowed themselves to do the right thing: As a first step, they let me measure one area of latency compared to my systems. One broker stepped up to the plate. I showed them their weakness...

I'm talking internal latencies of the broker. Both feed and execution. Market center latency is a different animal. Other than the lines etc, you are at the mercy of their platforms once your execution data hits it. Thank god Arca is now one of the best. Old Arca FIX was death. Remember...

What I don't get is: 1. Brokers all fight for business. Why not use the guys like "me" as a benchmark to then advertise they really kick that kind of ass with benchmarks to prove it. Even if they could care less about me and my systems. As I stated earlier: They would get more...

Also, I know I have said alot of this forum. I am not trying to "show off" or say i'm better than anyone else. There are many many algos out there that make more money than us however they do it. I just want to prove that as much as brokers say they cater to "high speed" clients, the...

Cash is not always king; Knowledge is. I remember 1 year ago we had a more than stellar month. Above average. So what we decided to do was experiment the next month (at the expense of profit) as an investment for the future. We shut off our fastest servers and forced ourselves to run the...

"The reward to the programmer for "fixing" any minimal latency at the brokerage is usually NOTHING. Most people won't notice any changes for the better. A few customers might notice an improvement, but these will be the same anal twits that will continue to complain about any remaining latency...

Nitro: "I never suggested you are full of shit - only that you are worrying about things that you could not possibly take advantage of, and that the people that can you aren't helping them because they know what the real issues are. nitro" I am the people who can take advantage of the...

Nitro, i'm not full of sh&t. What works for you, works for you. What works for me works for me. I have been as detailed as I can be without hurting my own business. I think we both know what happens when you say too much right? Here's a funny story: I remember way way back when I was...
