Hot Webinar Aug 15 4 CT Ninjatrader on Zen-fire, every tick.
Posted: Tue Aug 15, 2006 5:48 pm
I have no affiliation with Ninjatrader or Mirus Futures, but serious traders in the kreslik forum may want to check out this NinjaTrader/Mirus Futures zen-fire data feed introduction webinar today, Aug. 15 at 4:00 CT ( see http://www.mirusfutures.com for registration). I think I've discovered something valuable to any short term trader, especially counter trend traders and autosystem developers. Today I compared two Ninjatrader DOMs. One running on Mirus Futures Zen-Fire data, the other on Patsystem data. I immediately noticed when the Zen-Fire DOM came up that it seemed to be catching more ticks. It would sometimes flutter up and down faster than I'd ever observed on my Patsystem-driven Ninjatrader DOM. I left them both running and Patsystem crashed at least four times today while the Zen-Fire just kept tickin'. I parked two screens at right angles and watched the price action studiously until I was convinced that Ninjatrader on Patsystem drops ticks, lags, and sometimes doesn't even paint a change in price that Zen-fire flutters past and back as it picks up every tick.

This week I stumbled across Pat and Eliot, the Co-founders of Mirus Futures and discovered that none other than Mathemagician John Joseph, who gave NeoTicker programmers a July 16 NeoTicker presentation on position sizing has chosen Mirus to trade his blackbox for clients through the Zen-Fire data server, which Mirus co owner Pat Shaughnessy help develop and was first to deploy to the retail market (It was designed for institutions.) I'm told they don't advertise to speak of. Wonder why? I'm guessing its because excellence sells itself. In anticipation of my tentative request to Pat or Eliot to give a presentation to our NeoTicker programmers group about why their co-location of servers by the Chicago exchange captures virtually every tick, and how its working with Ninjatrader, how much redundancy it provides, how to park our own computer boxes in their server room for virtually instant executions, and generally what kind of edge and support they can give graybox and blackbox system developers (and discretionary traders who don't like their system to lag or crash in a fast market), I though the rest of you might want to sit in on tomorrows webinar by Pat in cooperation with NinjaTrader, to get a preliminary orientation.
