Now financial software developers have a platform for testing and refining new algorithms: the HFT Developers Lab from HFT Technologies LLC. The HFT Lab provides production market data in a fully hosted CME Certification Environment at most major exchanges.
“I’ve met a lot of developers with great ideas,” said Tony Verga, CEO, HFT Technologies. “We created the Developers Lab to give them an affordable way to test those ideas in a real, high-speed, co-located environment.”
Specifically, the HFT Developers Lab consists of stand-alone, multi-core servers (Linux or Windows) co-located at CME, CBOT, NYMEX/COMEX, BM&FBOVESPA, Dubai Mercantile Exchange, MEXDER, Minneapolis Grain Exchange, Osaka Securities Exchange and other exchanges.
