    Sub-20-millisecond CME data

    @MrMuppet, Thanks a ton. I'm slowly executing on your list of suggestions. Ha! That was my initial thought as well. I guess a InteractiveBrokers account won't cut it. :/ Thanks for the heads-up. The cancels per execution is a new metric that I will have to account for (I am currently not...

    Sub-20-millisecond CME data

    Sub-20-millisecond CME data

    I've been trading a bit over the last few years with custom software I've built for the cryptocurrency space.. mainly on Coinbase.

    storing level 2 data

    I second the flat-file option. Databases aren't made for this kind of an access profile. If the data is large and you will *always* be looking through the old data linearly, just don't use a database. Separate file for each instrument/day or maybe instrument/hour.
