How often do you trade and how important is fast executions? I've noticed many programmers try to shoehorn in execution algorithms into a strategy that doesn't need it. If you can run an analytics program that just sends you a trade alert from which you manually execute, that will save you a lot in systems risk. Also, the fact that you're asking this question tells me this is very very unlikely to be a good idea. Be careful.
