Glad to hear Sierra is adding the "real-time" function, indeed more friendly for automated traders
I guess it would work by assigning a full core of CPU to the master copy and streaming feeds to slaves. Sierra Chart uses only one core for feed updating but does the same applies to order generation process?
Also anyone knows how fast C++ based Sierra is
- Price feed latency?
- Copying latency from master to slaves? (I guess no latency here)
- Order generation latency?
Any information given would be valuable, experience or pure estimation
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Do I get faster when I run multiple slaves with each hosting only one automated system? Or no need to do that cause Sierra Chart is multithreaded and optimized for multiple cores?
Does SC allow hedging on Currenex?
Hedging is quite useful without closing an order fist and then opening another and more friendly for coders as well. I'm glad not being a US citizen and not governed by NFA.
It's amazing that SC seems to have a nice FIX engine without running a FIX API and criticizing the popular Quick FIX to be overheaded. I haven't purchased Sierra yet, but it looks promising
Market data processing, order processing, and study calculations are all done within the same thread. However all of this is very fast.
Also anyone knows how fast C++ based Sierra is
- Price feed latency?
This is extremely fast processing. We have not measured it, but we have no reason to believe that this would take any longer than 10 microseconds to process a market data update for a single symbol especially when using SSD drives. We probably should test this, there is a good chance it is even faster. Market data processing, is of very little overhead.
- Copying latency from master to slaves? (I guess no latency here)
We would expect the overall time from processing a market data update, calling the study function and the study function submitting an order, might take something like 100 microseconds. Could be longer could be faster. There are many variables. As we said, we have not analyzed this completely. And we are working on reducing the time further.
Sierra Chart does not support hedging with Currenex.
The Sierra Chart FIX engine is monumentally faster than quick fix.
The minimum system requirement for running one instance of Sierra Chart is very low, should I run different automated systems on different copies of Sierra Chart? Does it do any good?
Should I assign different CPU cores to run different copies or it can choose a CPU by itself?
When will be the real-time tick by tick feed update version be available?
Since it does not support hedging, what happens when running two automated systems on one copy of Sierra Chart and say they happened to buy and sell at the same time with the same asset?
If it works fine, will the stop orders be on the broker's side or trader's side?
SC volume by price better than Gomi volume ladder for NT, and also faster and more accurately than any other platform that I tested (NT, MD, MC)
* If investing gets too difficult for a seventh grader to understand, the system is needlessly complex
* Markets produce an enormous volume of information, much of which is redundant
* In every game and con there's always an opponent, and there's always a victim. The trick is to know when you're the latter, so you can become the former
