We have been upgrading our servers in Chicago over the past 3-day weekend, and had some issues with our upgraded servers from about 2am until 7am this morning, primarily CME and CBOT. We regularly upgrade servers every 2-3 years to increase speed. Due to those issues, we had to bounce all of...

The problem was that we(VF) were sending out bogus data to our customers at such a large rate (basically 5X normal peak market open conditions) from the CME and CME-A servers that it could have caused slowness on other exchanges also even if you were not using the CME. For Compression...

This abnormally high 500% of normal output of data from our servers this week has been resolved. We are now running normally again at 15-20% utilization vs. the peaking at over 100% due to CME and CME gateway issues. I will post more information when it becomes available. Thank...

RedRat- Due to us running parallel version 6 and 7 FIX environments until all Version 7 FIX issues were resolved completely, we have had to have double the hardware for FIX... But now, as of the last month we are done with Version 6 and will have extra equipment to dedicate to developers...

During the next 30 days thru 11/27/2006, Velocity is dropping the price of Ninja Trader from $4.25/RT to $3.50/RT. This is for ALL Ninja trader customers including those already at Velocity. This is to allow for an extended beta period for customers to give Ninja and Velocity Feedback...

This post needs some clarification... The way that the commissions work at Velocity is that you can either have the "FREE" X_TRADER where the commissions cover the cost of the "FREE" X_TRADER OR you can have a volume discount for X_TRADER Subscription (the kind you pay monthly for). What...

The fees for colocation are not set yet. We are still working on posting a complete fee schedule. I can say that if you are doing more than 10,000/month it will probably be free. If no volume, or just data collection or development, probably be somewhere about $600/month for 1U of space...

Yes, that is correct, there is no fee except for any fees you would pay for the quant developer suite, if that is what you are using... Jay

We are currently planning a December 1st release of a Fix 4.2 compliant gateway into the CME, CBOT, EUREX, EUREXUS, ICE, and LIFFE. We have chosen the TT FIX Adapter because of speed and functionality to all the exchanges. If you are interested please open and fund an account. To check it...

Ok...so generally about 90% of the traders loose money in futures trading...and generally the odds can't be that bad. And prop traders generally make more money...ie, a higher profit percentage due to more strict controls... So...assuming that these things are true..for the sake of...

Talked with Eurex US today. The market making program for the interest rate products is closed to 20 MM in August. They are still going to distribute 5 Million dollars proportionally to the traders who do 1000+ per day for 15/20 trading days per month. Next year it will be 20% of profit...

Any LLC worldwide (you would need the ability to dole out gains and losses like a partnership, ie an LLC...if it were only C or S corp. then you would have to do it by stock ownership %). I don't know what the price would be in Oct 2005, but the price today is: IOM purchase $175,000, lease...

Any LLC anywhere in the world can become a 106R Member of the CME. Also, you don't have to purchase seats or lease seats until you see if it works for you over the next year thru Oct. 2005. I hope that helps, Jay

This means that IF you want to continue the deal after October 2005, you will be required to purchase or lease seats. But if you do not do this then you will no longer get the same discounted rates after the October 2005. We have several traders and groups taking advantage of this...
