This Is A Job For...SuperFeed(TM)!

By: Ray Pellecchia
File Under: NYSE Technologies

From my e-mailbag:

Dear Ray,

Do you want to...
• Enhance the speed with which your clients receive market data?
• Broaden the range of venues your firm wishes to cover?
• Save money and reduce complexity on direct feeds and ticker plants?
• Reduce the overhead caused by increasingly frequent exchange feed upgrades?
• Reduce the total cost of data ownership?

Well, I never really thought much about it, but now that you mention it, yes...YES, I DO, ABSOLUTELY! And BTW, thanks for the old-school "dear," it makes me feel, well, kinda special.

So don't just keep me hangin' on, how do I do these things?

If so, please register for our upcoming SuperFeed(TM) webinar and learn how you can leverage its benefits (cost reductions and performance gains) for business advantage.

For the first time, market participants can now access the high performance and expansive market reach of NYSE Technologies' market data software with the economics and convenience of a hosted, managed service.

SuperFeed provides you with access not only to data from NYSE Euronext's markets but from a wide range of major US, European and Asian markets. It offers the simplicity of a consolidated feed with direct feed performance. From what our customers tell us, it is the lowest latency consolidated market data feed in the industry.

Kevin Gilchrist and Chris Zanelli from the SuperFeed product team at NYSE Technologies will discuss the benefits, technology, performance and the development program of SuperFeed. There will also be an interactive Q&A session giving you the opportunity to pick the brains of our experts.

My question is, if Superman were invented today, would he have a little TM next to the big S on his chest?

Hey, back on the topic, I know Kevin Gilchrist, good guy, quick mind, wonderful brogue, don't know Chris yet, but any colleague of Kevin's is a colleague of...wait, where were we...

Have a wonderful Wednesday, folks. Hey, just spotted some historical trivia that's actually on topic!

Today in NYSE History
02 Sep 1930 -- New high speed tickers were introduced, capable of printing 500 characters per minute.

Comments

Ray,

That 500 characters per minute translates into about 8 characters per second. Eventually the tape becomes distributed at 12 characters per second because that was what was determined to be "easily readable by the human eye." That speed became know as TTY and was distributed on teletype machines (teletypewriters)as well.

For decades the NYSE through SIAC distributed the "slow speed" Network A tape using standard 5-bit Baudot code, with a limited character set to 32 codes and 134.5 baud rate that translates into 12 characters per second or 720 characters per minute.

Regards,

Bart J. Ward
