Power of CPU, GPU and FPGA for ultimate ultra low latency trading system !

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!

Oracle’s Java for Trading Systems Development, Speed and Performance?

After Sun its Oracle turn to try out novel development using Java.

Oracle is focusing on building a Java-based pre-engineered trading bundle this year in order to facilitate fast deployment and “fewer moving parts” to deal with for its customers. This development is aimed at tackling the challenge of performance versus time to market in the low latency trading architecture space. It would be based on Java enabled data grids and architectures on which trading infrastructures can be built could therefore provide more robust capabilities.

We will find our more about core Java-based pre-engineered trading bundle within months to come. Will be easier to implement and will it save time and money for both the software company/consultants and the users (Trading firms and its Customers, Capital Markets & Investment Banks).???

Java is HOT again!

Best Trading Technology or the Programming Language…..

Which is the best trading system development programming language Java, C++ or C# . Do you think Java is better than C# for data handing?? On the other hand, C# would be a much better choice than Java for the GUI. If you want to be able to run the application on multiple platforms then Java is a better choice than C# there also I guess.

The managers are looking into it and I have recommended Java.
