I have the first ticker plant cleaned up and in the code. A ticker plant connects to a data source and brings the tickers into the Raydo system.

This ticker plant connects to IB TWS and brings Forex data into the system. A simple one, but was needed for a trading program, so it is the first one I cleaned up.

Source: IB TWS
Market: Forex
Resolution : Changes in Bid/Ask

Well, Turkey day is over, however, I am under the weather. I am at the tail end of the virus, so I will be posting for the next couple of weeks until Christmas.

I really hate being sick, but such is life.

I am back for Thanksgiving ‘07. Enjoying the family and too much food. Wishing all of you the best of holidays !

In an answer to an email query, on what is Raydo used for, buy side or sell side, I just wanted to clarify.

BUY SIDE FOR NOW

Now, will we always be buy side ? Who knows, but I know buy side, and most of the needs are buy side. Now we are buy side, buy it can also be sell side as in market making and liquidity providing. However , the production code that is used day in and day out is buy side.

Now when we start market making everyday, we will of course spend more time on the sell side. It is just right now, we use / watch / play with the buy side every day.

    Raydo is an open source platform for creating MM , Algo and automated trading systems. So to give you an idea of what we do, here is the obligatory list.

Multi platform - Linux AND Apple OSX
Java and C++ API's
Open source ( GPL v3 )
Cluster Mode
