Anyone have experience of RTS (Realtime Trading Systems) software?

Hi-

Do you trade with RTS, perhaps have done in the past or know someone who does?

What do you think of the performance, price and support compared to other systems. Any practical advice is appreciated.

Thank you,

I think they work with institutional traders only. Not clear what exactly they do from their website. Very vague.

Its very expensive but their platforms are some of the fastest out there. Thats basically all i know

i used it a years ago. the only downside is that you had to write algo code in tango which is there proprietary language.

Thank you all.

Rosy2 - is their language similar to anything off the shelf (e.g. VB script or something)? And did you use it - is it user friendly?

Evaluated them a while ago.

Very strong backtesting platform
Strong for development
Grew out of the Eurex - german company
Tango is fairly powerful - I think they also have some kind of C++ api as well.
Run their own network and platform (similar to TTNET)

Expensive

Haven't used it, but it looks like RTD Tango allows you to run VBA/Matlab scripts.

thanks guys.

t482 - i didn't know they were ex-eurex (DTB I guess).
Was cost the reason why you don't use them. May I ask who you use instead?
