if that's true, then the answer to your question must be long island, because for each 300km you move away from the stock exchange you lose at least 1ms. that's the speed of light, you know.

of course, you could setup proxy machines in the US... that's what we - being in europe - considered at one point.

yes i'm sure i'm missing the details. what i wanted to point out however was that, no matter how good the telco infrastructure of the offshore island, you cannot use it for your style of trading anyway. unless you leave the arbing servers in chicago that is.

The telco structure is the most important issue for us; closely followed by where we want to be, i.e. restaurants, etc....
