EUREX HUB in Miami anyone?

Quote from Topsurfi:

Hi esmjb,

what is the advantage of a very fast time stamp if the quotes are delayed, and you will have a quote delay in Miami compared to Germany ?
I am trading Dax from Germany and I have to say that I have a lot of delay in quotes here (maybe cause I trade through IB) but executions are fast. I get execution about 0.3-0.5 seconds (did not exactly measure it, so its only a guess) bevore I can see my trade in the quotes, strange.
More...

these guys are talking about a direct line in to the book, not routing an order from germany, over to us, then to japan, south africa, polond, back to japan, then n america and finally back to germany which is the kind of route your order will go through (if unlucky) on a retail isp which i guess you are using if also with a retail broker.
 
I hate winter. Unfortunately as a chicago-based eurex trader i can not trade in a warm weather spot during winter without sacrificing highly valued connection speed.

Since there is a hub in Helsinki (for christs sake, how much volume can possibly pass through there???) amongst other locations, i see no reason why it wouldnt be possible to convince Eurex to build a hub in Miami thus enabling NYC and Chi-town traders to head south for the winter.

Is anyone else feeling me on this???

i agree...and would love to see a hub in that part of the world. speed is of the essence, and therefore location to a hub is vital.

what about the bahamas...surely the tax breaks there, as well as the weather would lead to good demand....i know people do trade eurx from nassau...but i'm pretty sure there is no eurex hub...unless someone can tell me different?
