Mind exercise. What would you do?

What would you do if you had 50% discount on CME fees, low comms, colocated box 0.5ms away from exchange and unfiltered market data?

Is this a trick question?

maxima · Sep 21, 2010

no. it means what it says

tomorton · Sep 21, 2010

I'd ask quickly 'What are CME fees? What's a low comm? Why do I need a chocolated box?'

MrGecko · Sep 21, 2010

lease it out.

EDIT: I am assuming that the situation described is vastly superior to what is easily available in the marketplace.

maxima · Sep 21, 2010

yes it is. faster only are hedge funds who has dedicated infrastructure.

but I know nothing abt leasing or selling stuff.. I was thinking of a quant trader who has a model but no implementation. so I could create a mirror system and we can trade each own money but using my system and his model...

I am really fed up of the manual trading.

if you dont need chocolated box then you dont need it. Try marshmallow jar instead.

package it up and sell it to someone else.

I saw NYSE article before. To organise the actual latency arb you need a bit more than just a quick box and a colocation.

You want to automate your trading rules? Not that difficult these days.

I know! Left click. Left click. Left click. It's so draining.

You may have more luck on a quant forum.
