Newbie asking how could i get the 100 millisecond chart?

Quote from walterjennings:

Beating other HFTs is 'easy'. All you have to do is accept less of an avg profit margin than they do per share traded. That is, if your cost structure will allow for that. At least, thats the case when it comes to spread games, stat arb and HFT stat market making. The person who is willing to take the least profit, gets the liquidity (offers the best deal to the other side of the trade), and as we all know HFT is all about catching that limited liquidity.

Trading inside is the least important variable in the equation.

Id beg to differ. When I did news event stat arb. Catching fills against the few market orders which are happening was the most complex part of the algorithm (far far more complex than the actual stat arb calculations). Involved undercutting market makers, jockeying for position (getting first in queue at a price level and sitting on it for a future fill), as well as backing off to test how wide the spread will expand. All while trying to ensure your target profitability and manage risk.

It comes down to understanding what your HFT system is actually doing. Understanding where it actually gets its profits from. In many cases you are providing a service for market traders by providing liquidity (often using an auxiliary system to help keep you in the short term trend of the market, hedging your risk and reducing equity volatility), the more people who 'use your service' the better the system works.

OP, if your goal is to lead HFT shops in automated-execution, don't bother. You'd have better luck in space-tourism. I don't have the numbers here, but I know a guy involved in HFT at a wirehouse and their latency is nonexistent due to colo, parallelism, etc. I would assume that they can execute a triangular arb before your Dukascopy feed gets the quote to your system.

The only space in the market in which we're not handicapped is low-frequency.

With my resources, i even dont bother to LEAD :) the HFT guys. All my goal is to alleviate the painful lag as much as i can with using reasonable resources.
 
Six pages of posts, and no one has answered -- or even tried to answer -- the OP's original question. Might be a record, even for E'trader.

Thanks Rodney,

Still waiting however i have gotten new perspectives from previous posts.

Still waiting for the specific answer.

how could i diminish the lag " execution and charting-wise" as mush as possible??

my solution " newbie solution" is:

eSignal (onesend time stamp resolution data feed ---> amibroker ( powerful execution platform ----> API Dukascopy ( decent ECN)

cost wise:
49$/m for esignal + 297$ amibroker pro

any better solution???

please share
