Trade Performance
Algorithmic trading is a race as the financial services industry tries to develop sophisticated strategies and then beat the competition by capturing, analyzing and acting on information as it appears. The quicker the systems, the better trading desks will perform. This increasingly prevalent form of securities trading is radically changing the market data business through dramatic growth in volume, forcing data providers to focus on extremely low market data latency at extremely high message volumes.
Need to reduce latency on Red Hat Enterprise Linux? Start by reading our guide to tuning the RHEL 5 operating system to reduce latency. Some chapters are written for the RHEL5-RT product only.
