Technical aspects. What broker has London server with decent platform

[nine]

This is my fast efficient run under XP in server mode (autoit format)

Run ( 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\javaw.exe -cp jts.jar;pluginsupport.jar;jcommon-1.0.0.jar;
jfreechart-1.0.0.jar;jhall.jar;other.jar;riskfeed.jar;rss.jar -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=false

Sierra Chart for charting.

Thank you for all your replays guys.. I will try your tips.

There are some evidence (on NT support forum) that NT 6 works fine under 64-bit OS for some. And NT 7 will support 64bit officially.

Just to put some figures on IB TWS performance, on a single core AMD Sempron 3100 CPU (IMHO a dog of a CPU) with 2Gb PC3200 memory, NVidia NVS 280 graphics and Linux, TWS with DAX BookTrader and one 1min DAX chart open is showing 5% to 10% CPU utilization.

If a larger % load is shown on a top of the line Intel quad core CPU, there is something wrong.

Max,

Could I please have your comments on the following; is it significant?

Note there are two seperate pages, despite identical names.

QuantHouse, Solutions to Trade Ahead

Grant.

I called today and they said they dont deal individual traders... Whole thing is tuned for algotraders.

OpenQuant is their retail product.

OpenQuant is their retail product.

correct me if I am wrong but OpenQuant (from what I read in the inet) is development tool for algotrading. You can develop your 'black box', connect it to IB, OEC or others and run your algo trading.

I havent found any fee info but I assume that commissions etc will be same as if you traded through TWS or OEC platforms... only much much faster.

So this facility is no use for me unless I can find London arcade connected directly to QuantHouse SDH ring,

Anyone knows such arcade? How much is the seat cost?
