Zen Fire data feed in fast market

Yes, that sounds like ninja.

All the time I am collecting CME data - all BUT bid/ask (only th best bids and asks) today for perforamcne tests. Thanks to zen-fire. Up to about 20.000 quotes per second. The feed is terrific ;) Ninja... otoh... could not handle that ;)

Today has seemed particularly bad with the zf/nt set-up (between the 10am news and 10:30a).

Lots of pauses, although I did get filled on some standing orders, while the pauses were happening.

I'm thinking it is a combination of my CPU and video cards?

99% chance it's your CPU. Open Task Manager and check to see if it's anywhere near 100%. If it is, you are definitely getting lag. (Even if it's not, you still might be getting it unless the utilization is below 50%.) The good news is that NT 7 still seems to be on track of end of Sept beta release. It says something about what a piece of crap this program is that everyone is waiting to use a beta of the next version rather than the current release.

That is very well said. Whoppa. I got NT a month ago and asked for a refund -telling them they can get another try at my money when the software is not total crap ;)

Are you thinking that NT7 will be less of a drain on the same CPU that is running at 70-90% during fast markets with 6.5?
 
Actually we all hope NT7 wil lbeable to use MORE than one CPU core finally ;) I have a quad core trading station that basically shuts down 3 cores for Ninja.

I know that it will, based on the performance improvements that they are claiming in their log. For one thing, they have dropped Access as a DB solution and gone with SQL Server (why they didn't do this in the first place is beyond me). They have also optimized all their bar drawing routines, and added multi-core support. At any rate, it can't possibly be worse than 6.5.
 
I just wish they would hire some more Indians to get that job done! Seriously Ray 1 year behind schedule.

The bugs aren't going to be worked out until 2010.

I feel your frustration ppl. :p
 
I'm going to give them one more shot with NT 7. If they don't solve their performance and stability issues, I'm moving to another broker and platform.
