SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - November 24, 2008) - 4th Story, LLC announced today that
Fixnetix, a leading provider of ultra low latency market data, has gone
live on 4S.Cascades™, its market data feed diagnostic product. Comparing
two or more feeds in real time, 4S.Cascades provides key metrics, including
relative latency and conflation in multiple tabular and graphical formats.
"4S.Cascades gives us a highly intuitive real-time graphical view of the
quality of our feeds. They've done a great job with this product and it has
been a very welcome addition to our monitoring tools," said Paul Ellis, COO
of Fixnetix.
As part of the implementation, 4th Story integrated Fixnetix's low latency
feeds into its algorithmic trading suite, which includes 4S.Everglades™
for real-time automated trading strategy operation and the 4S.Blue
Ridge™ FIX compliant algo trading server.
"We are very pleased to have Fixnetix as both a customer and partner," said
Steve Smith, CEO of 4th Story. "They understand what is important to the
algorithmic trading community. Together, we are able to offer this
community a best of breed solution of market data, software and services."
4S.Cascades allows two or more feeds to be compared side by side,
graphically displaying the value, count and timing of ticks received from
each feed for conflation and latency analysis. All ticks can be persisted
for future analysis and the measurements are user configurable for
flexibility.
