" Tier 1 Research- 7Ticks expands to third Telx facility -Dan Golding - - excerpt
Most of 7Ticks' business revolves around servicing firms that do business with the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange/Chicago Board of Trade. The two key drivers for 7Ticks'
expansion to New York were increasingly limited available colocation space in Chicago
(T1R wishes them luck finding more space in New York) as well as an increasing list of
New York-based customers who would like some sort of mediated access to Chicago
commodities trading activities. T1R also wonders if the pending acquisition of the New
York Mercantile Exchange by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange has anything to do with
the expansion â it would be a logical move.
7Tick's next expansion will take it to Germany, for interconnection with the Eurex
Exchange in Frankfurt. Luckily, transatlantic fiber capacity is at an all-time low,
cost-wise, which will facilitate these sort of Europe-bound expansions going forward. "

" When connecting to Zen-Fire, the trader establishes a connection to
rz000aa.7ticks.com in order to place orders and receive market data. (This is done
through a process called by NinjaTrader when using File->Connect from theControl
Center.) After the connection is established, packets will be transmitted from the rz000aa
server to the computer. If blocked, the trader will be unable to connect to the server and
will not be able to trade or receive market data."
