The other thing people should understand about the consolidated feeds is that they only show the aggregated size at the best price at each exchange, whereas the direct feeds show you every displayed order in the book. A direct feed is a fir

A direct feed from one exchange could be $10,000 to $60,000 a month. That's way off the mark. It's more in the $1k - $3k range. http://cdn.batstrading.com/resources/regulation/BATS_US_Mark... http:&#x

There are a number of possibilities depending on whether you send in a routable order (it's a flag you can set -- route or don't route, and there can be fees associated with routing). What a sophisticated trader would do is send t

If I submit a buy order for 10 shares of GOOG with a limit of $1134 that order is going to show up in the data stream of HFTs only after it has become a valid open order on the exchange, right? If at that time there is a sufficient volume

In a batch auction like that you still have a latency game. There is no reason to submit your order until the last possible moment since you will want to incorporate as much information from other markets and news sources as possible. You w

You don't have to have this random stuff. You can just do pro rata as they do in certain certain contracts on the CME. Though maybe it turns out that market participants actually prefer price-time priority. There's a shocking th

Uhh ignorant HNer here. What is your tick to trade latency? What are your fill rates like? Are you doing primarily add or take? Which contracts do you trade? :-)

I thought this was going to be interesting but it turns out it was just an advertisement for IEX. They brought out a) guy selling a book about IEX (Michael Lewis) b) CEO of IEX (Brad Katsuyama) c) Chief Strategy Officer of IEX (Ronan Ryan)

I tell them I want to get paid X dollars in bitcoins, and they tell me how many bitcoins I should ask for and what address they should be sent to. Stripe then gives me the dollars I asked for (minus a small processing fee, of course). How

Why is it that some articles about VC investments include valuation info (or enough information to calculate valuation) and some don't? There is no valuation information for this particular post. As an outsider, I don't understand

Are Move Loot and Apt Deco direct competitors? Is it normal for YC to fund multiple versions of the same idea in the same batch? Both look like cool services and I wish either one was available here in Chicago.

The Forrester note† that the article links to is a little more balanced that the NYT article. If you don't have time to read the whole thing, here are some good quotes: It's naive and dangerous to think that the NSA's actio

They know how to get people who they have made money for to turn over a lot of that money to buy the companies they have invested in. I'm just trying to parse this. Is he saying that VCs earn money for their LPs, and then turn around
