The Capital Markets landscape consists of a complete multi-asset,
multi-partnered and multi-regional infrastructure in order to be
profitable in today's market conditions. Trading execution venues,
their participants and technology vendors must now all be at the
front of technology advancements. However, the need to be in as
many markets and to communicate to as many clients and partners as
possible has made connectivity to market access a "mine field" of
obstacles. In the second in our series on high frequency FX
trading, Joe Hilt, VP of Sales, North America, Hibernia Atlantic,
outlines some of the key issues facing FX trading firms who are
planning how best to link their trading infrastructures to trading
venues and what lessons they can take from latency, networking and
trading connectivity developments in other markets.
In the previous decade, the capital markets trading
infrastructure looked very different. Trading floors existed on
exchanges, where the buy and selling of stocks, bonds, options
and futures were negotiated for best prices. Having a high
performance communication system meant having extremely fast and
legible note takers along with a few loud voices.
