Lime Brokerage has rolled out its LimeDirect pre-trade risk service - providing compliance for SEC rule 15c3-5 while adding minimal latency. But unlike competitive services, the offering - which Lime officials say is based on an "innovative blend of hardware and software" - does not leverage FPGA technology, because Lime technologists believe it is too inflexible in terms of rapid code development and ongoing maintenance.

Bats Europe has set an end of April go-live date for migration of Chi-X Europe's trading system, running on Bats technology at Equinix, near London. Separately, Bats Global Markets in the U.S. says it will house its backup trading systems at a Savvis data centre in downtown Chicago.

As algorithmic trading continues to evolve, it is my view that we will start to witness more firms using their systems to trade equities not only from the U.S. and Europe, but also from the Middle Eastern, Latin America and Asian markets.  The latest announcement that Colt’s sister company KVH will be expanding its low-latency network to Sydney, adding a new data and co-location centre, is indicative of the expansion of trading, and the rise in transaction volumes, across the Asia/Pacific region. New entrants, such as the Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs), are also bringing market liquidity and this in turn is drawing in more trading participants to the Asian markets.

Latest Q&A

In low-latency electronic trading, and especially in an increasingly regulated world, being able to document transactions and especially exactly when they happen - in a way that is provable when disputes arise - could be crucial.  But who has the correct time?  That would be Certichron, says its director of sales Tim Costello, below in conversation with Low-Latency.com.

    環境:FLAC音源: 44.1kHz 16bit (CD) X-Fi Titanium Pro,ヘッドホン K271 ASIO2.0(Win7 32bitsp1)もしくはALSA(Linux-lowlatency-pae-2.6.32) どこが悪いのでしょうかね

    generic-kernelからlowlatency-kernelに変えてみたけど、正直違いがわからん。latencyは操作時の挙動は変わったけど(目的時間に飛ぶのが速くなったけど)音の解像度はまったくわからんな。なにが悪いんだろか、なんか抑圧されて感じがする

    linux-lowlatency-paeとかマイナーすぎて研究用PCなんかに入れてたらネタだろうな....
