Quote from Bobarino:
It will be my pleasure not to have to deal with Sungard anymore too!! There margin rules and general attitide towards the pro-trader is absolutely horrible, I am surprised that brokerages or Institutions would even work with them. I guess thats why they have the worst turnover ratio in the business [/B]
I left and i agree 100%, without the trader these firms are like any other business WO the customer. Software was awesome, CS was horrible.
Yep, same here. I left Assent a ~ a year ago. Traded there for 6 years. Anvil was a great platform but management was horrendous, which was my main reason for leaving.
who are the "so many bidders" ?
Quote from Clubber Lang:
Complete nonsense.
Really? You get your letter confirming there are multiple bidders?
Stop pretending you know what is going on with the company.
When the time is right everything shady that upper management at Sungard has done will come out.
Right now they are preventing customers from taking their own personal equipment out of offices. Thus preventing them from moving on and trading elsewhere.
They are doing this for one reason. They want to keep traders around as long as possible so the numbers look good to the numerous bidders.
The Financial division is run by a bunch of know nothing brain dead failures from other firms.
I actually thought for a second Bobarino was an Assent tech because of screen name, but he could never be him.
To correct your bad information. The developer that left is a guru. He worked on ALL elements of trading systems sans programming routers\switches. One second you say you paid him? then he was not interested??? All while being employed by Assent. You are straight lying.
Small changes were made by off shore development, visual changes to user interface. There are very few gurus who can aggregate all quote feeds and deliver them to workstation, very few. Indian workers did not build any structural framework or make any changes to core of system ever.
The "excellent developers" are not starting from scratch, they have been *building* trading systems for over 15 years(post NWII terminals), without stealing because Anvil front end is old news. Back end(feed handlers) take years of proper development AFTER having knowledge to do it. That's why anyone can't do it.
Your comments about the Head of Assent are lies too. Can anyone contact him now? I don't think so.
The clearing firm has nothing to do w turn over ratio, wtf are you even lying about there? Bobarino is not good at spreading bad information.

Quote from Bobarino:
One of the developers working on the system resigned, but he was only working on back-end development for the last 2-3 years. In fact, I previously compensated this developer to help me build drivers and filter apps. I actually tried to hire him to do API and GUI work, NEITHER OF WHICH HE WAS INTERESTED IN.
Most of the Development for Anvil was done in either India or through other Assent developers for the past 18+ months.
The old owners of Assent have compiled 2-3 excellent developers, but they are starting from scratch and it will take months and months to build a new system. If they come out any faster, its because they stole the software and it will surely mean legal battles up the yin-yang for them. The only "dream" they are putting together is the concept that they can have a brand new trading system created and running in 2-3 months. Why dont we all just do it then?!?!
Anvil is NOT DEAD, if you dont believe this contact your Assent rep or even better, call the Head of Assent. He just told me that Anvil will live on under a new company. Anyone saying any different is either named Mike Picozzi or Bill Meyers, or working for one of them. They are well aware of how dangerous keeping Anvil will be, going so far as to make a deal with the current President and then breaking it at th la

There are at least 4 legit bidders I hear.
