What makes TickIts server side execution better than most other trading software?
Unlike most trading front-ends, TickIt provides true server-side execution. The logic for your hedging strategies, custom-spread strategies, tick orders, custom algorithms, and so on, all execute at the TickIt server. Most trading front-ends, including many you can write code for, process trading logic at the client-side (your computer). This means that not only does it take longer for the market data to get there because of data coalescing and extra hop(s), but the computer running the algorithm needs to be fast as well. TickIt can provide faster executions because the speed of your computer and internet connection are no longer limiting factors. Furthermore, TickIt algorithms execute in compiled code (without any programming on your part!), unlike many systems which provide scripting languages. In other words, it’s really fast!
