Argo SE announces availability of High-Frequency Trading (HFT) solution. Argo HFT  integrates Argo Trading API, ultra-fast Order Management System and Market Data Distribution with trading venue (CME iLink, MOEX FIX, NCX/MCX FIX and others) and market data (CME MDP 3, MOEX FIX/FAST, NCX/MCX, ICE) adapters.

Achieving a sub-microsecond latency may be difficult in conventional trading applications. We have “collocated” trading API, order management and market data modules in one process, eliminated IOC-related latencies,  applied a number of performance optimization techniques:

• build on Linux, taking advantages of myriads OS-specific optimization tricks
• use the best of the breed network technology and kernel bypass IP stack from Solarflare
• eliminate data copying – whenever possible
• pre-serialize  FIX messages directed to trading venue
• refactor data structures to facilitate optimal use of processor cache
• apply lock-less and block-less design patterns, eliminating OS signaling latency whenever it’s possible
• utilized OS scheduler interfaces to complete minimize non-deterministic behavior of standard thread scheduling algorithms

Our tick-2-order latency satisfies the needs of the most demanding HFT and Market Making applications.  Argo HFT is written on C++ and can be used with various FPGA solutions. Source Code and binary licenses are available.  Support and consulting services are available. Please contact us for more information.
