Low Latency network and Trading connectivity

As financial exchanges have moved to support high-speed access to their match engines, new opportunities have emerged for arbitrage between different market centers or different asset classes. The search is on for new ways to maintain the so-called “infrastructure edge.” One answer is to focus on development of a low latency network.

A key challenge today lies in successfully connecting physically diverse trading locations. The trading network latency encountered between two or more co-location facilities can be a major factor in determining the success of cross-market trading.

In a world where trading firms are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to reduce their transit time, variations in network latency are extremely significant. The speed of trading has moved from being measured in seconds in the pit to milliseconds on the screen and now microseconds with the advent of proximity access and strategy automation.

Interactive Data 7ticks’ direct exchange access represents the ultimate in low latency trading connectivity, and allows firms to access financial exchange matching engines directly without unessential layers of hardware or software interrupting performance.
