I hear that some Hedge Funds and Institutional Investors are going beyond HFT trading by doing Parallel programming of heterogeneous systems using power of CPU, GPU and FPGA for ultimate ultra low latency trading system. This system enqables them to complete the trading process in couple of micro seconds, till date its the fast system developed by the traders. The more faster the system gets, it can generate more trades in a day thus generating more revenue for the company, I guess thats the reason we see market wide fluctuation now a days. While SEC and FINRA are working hard investigating suspicious market activity and demading secret high-frequency trading computer codes from HFT trading firms, Hedge Funds, Institutional Investors and other HFT trading firms worldwide are busy developing robust trading system that does not care about company’s fundamentals, it just does trade exclusively on down ticks and up ticks. The Novel System is designed to make a penny of profit but with several millions of trades per terminal and 100′s of such HFT Algos/Codes systems worldwide… It’s your Guess!

Burstream, NovaSparks Vello Systems, Arista Networks and other high-performance technology suppliers have engineered infrastructure that uses FPGA (field programmable gate array) ‘pure-silicon’ feed handlers and order book managers that ensures algorithms receive normalized order book data via dedicated PCIe (PCI Express(TM)) connections in less than 900 nanoseconds, even during volume bursts and message peaks.
