Low latency in High Frequency Servers for HFT (High Frequency Trading) is one of the vital elements to success. Among many factors that effect latency, hardware and network are the key elements to successfully achieving the lowest latency possible. High frequency trading works at an extremely high trading rate and as a result, time and speed are extremely important. Algorithms profitability are often extremely reliant on a particular set of data points being gathered and ordered in a low latency fashion.
Due to market regulation, network latency has somewhat evened out. Now more than ever, the competitive advantage comes from the hardware you deploy and any network around that.
ZERO LATENCY IS STILL THE ULTIMATE GOAL IN HFT
- Competition in HFT has been fierce, with market players investing in more powerful and customized solutions that can trade in nanoseconds, hence the continuation of the “race to zero latency.”
- FPGA cards have been called “the final significant step in the evolution of low latency trading technology” and are in virtually every HFT solution.
As a leading High Frequency Trading solutions provider, ICC understands the importance of achieving the lowest latency possible. We understand what the kernel wants to see and use and how the cache is meant to work. Our dedicated engineering teams understand the benefits of FPGA better than most other competing hardware providers and we’re willing to prove it. Talk to us about how you can reduce the time penalties of each element and increase your returns.
