New HFT Technologies LLC Developers Lab Provides Real-Time Testing Speeds At an Affordable Cost.

No clearing affiliations or memberships needed to develop and test on this fully-hosted Exchange-certified platform.

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.

The feature-rich HFT Technologies Lab includes storage, Internet access and VPN to enable testing on any of the exchanges from anywhere in the world. Infrastructure, market connectivity and system administration are all provided by HFT Technologies.

Options for upgrading include multiple exchange cross connects, third party data, Oracle, SQL, plus HFT Technologies’ own sub-4 microsecond Ultra Low Latency Price Feed Handler and HFT Technologies FIX Gateways.

“This is an opportunity to refine your ideas using the fastest tools available,” said Verga. “Just bring your code and come see what you can create.”
