One of my colleagues just sent me a story from the site AdvancedTrading.com
The story is on the growing nature of low latency trading. Wall Street & Technology held an event on Wednesday to give people an overview.
Here is a link to the full article.
Low Latency, It’s Not Just for Hedge Funds Anymore
Here is what caught my eye.
CME Group's Goldman also discussed the increasing demand for colocation. The exchange has been offering the service for four years, but, he notes, it's still growing in popularity among customers. One of his concerns is that customers are not creating backup sites to their colocation sites.
This I've seen from personal experience. As the timescales have decreased more and more participants are looking to have data delivered as close as possible to the gateways of the exchange. Especially in the case of trading off of economic indicators.
