10 milliseconds is far too long for STP for anything in the financial industry Somehow very niche HFT trading platforms have come to define finance, when the reality is that the massive bulk of the industry runs on Excel spreadsheets, Java, or Fortran. An extraordinarily small subset of the stack has real-time needs, and is engineered as such. The financial industry is a huge industry with an enormous variance of needs, and the overwhelming bulk of applications have absolutely no such real-time requirement. I should mention that I've built systems in the financial industry for about a decade now, so I always marvel when people make broad, untrue, absolute statements.
