Alpha Flash: For All Your Nanosecond, Collocated, Algorithmic Frontrunning Needs
Ever feel like your nanosecond algorithmic frontrunning skills are becoming obsolete? Unable to scalp even a few extra pennies from illiterate orphans, widows and kittens armed with REDIPlus 9.0? The joy in subpennying Fido and Vanguard on their block purchases of Netflix no longer there? Finding yourself quote stuffing and crashing the market just for the existential hell of it? Despair not, for Deutsche Boerse (better known as the firm that any minute now will be outbid by the Amish market in its acquisition of NYSE according to Gasparino's latest rumor) has Alpha Flash just for you.
Introducing AlphaFlash
Deutsche Börse, Market News International (MNI) and Need to Know News (NTKN) have developed a low latency data feed that delivers market moving economic indicators and releases to our clients faster than any other service currently available.
AlphaFlash is designed for the most demanding algo traders at hedge funds, trading firms and financial institutions. MNI and Need to Know News are both fully accredited news agencies with direct access to government lock-up rooms and embargoed news.
Key benefits
- Consistently faster and more economical than competitor products
- Data is sent directly by our journalists from government lock-ups
- Designed for easy direct integration into trading algorithms
- Global co-location and other connectivity options
- AlphaFlash uses the high speed global network of Deutsche Börse and was designed by technology experts from the world of low latency trading.
But wait, there's more:
Need To Know News LLC has developed and tested new technology that allows us to deliver economic releases and data to clients consistently faster than any service currently available. Since August 2007 we have officially made our service available to sophisticated hedge funds and financial institutions.
In the world of algorithmic trading, speed and accuracy are top priorities. NTKN is a Washington, D.C. based fully accredited news agency like Dow Jones, Reuters and Bloomberg. AlphaFlash is the way to get key U.S. domestic and international economic releases and data directly into your trading algorithm.
Unlike our competitors, NTKN is not a traditional news service burdened by an aging, inefficient infrastructure with thousands of general financial news subscribers. AlphaFlash's infrastructure and architecture were designed by technologists from the world of electronic trading specifically for a select group of sophisticated algorithmic clients.
How it Works
Our reporters, using our custom-built applications, send the data from press rooms the very first instant it is allowed. The data flows through our dedicated network lines into our core systems and travels directly to you. We encourage customers to utilize our co location facilities and cross-connect to NTKN for the fastest possible data delivery.
And if you order now, for 5 low payments of $49,995 you will also get a one year trial access to Inside Information Inc, the one and only expert network that everyone wants to join and that does not tape or leak its client-"consultant" conversations, a decade subscription to Larry Meyer's Newsletter: "How 2+2 is 5 in Keynes' special case", as well as lifetime access to Paul Krugman's ad hominem blog attacks from behind the NYT paywall.

Hot off the press:
Eur/Usd stalling out by 1.4150 before the market reversed quite sharply intraday back below 1.4100 and towards daily opening levels. The catalyst for the sell-off was brought on initially by rumors of a troubled German bank and then accelerated on some surprisingly hawkish comments from the usually more dovish Fed Bullard.
The Fed official was responsible for the main USD rally in the European session after saying that the central bank may not be able to wait for global uncertainties to resolve before normalizing policy. Comments from Fed officials in recent days have already been fairly upbeat and hawkish and this only adds to a stronger case for USD bids. Clearly, the upcoming NFP and unemployment data due out on Friday will be important, and any sign of continued improvement in these numbers could help to spark some more meaningful USD bullish momentum.
Like I said all week, I smell a huge dollar rally coming.......
Get long USD/JPY, short EUR/USD, Short the SPY
We goin' sizzler..................
If by hot you mean cold, then yes. The "German bank" was yesterday's overnight news.
haha
It was hot off of mine anyways, I don't have the latest and greatest FED tools like you do Tyler LOL
But at least give me the credit for the USD/JPY call............I need something...
I'll bet with Tyler on this one. All hell, I'll hedge all bets with Tyler vs. the CB's, HFT's, and the Dick Head Ben.
You see, he's working with JPM's old high latency data feed. Now if he had that fancy new Deutsche BoerseLOW latency data feed.....
Well, this is at least really fresh:
FX Analyst:
It looks like the Dollar Index has confirmed its reversal. But don't put all your trust in pretty trendlines...$$ http://twitpic.com/4eugbv
Hyping flash-crash tools to the pros and Forex trading to retail investors. The end is near.
I hear there is another new platform out called Higg's BosonFlash.
It runs in a 4th dimensionally overlayed virtual server right at the exchange.
The program determines movement bias prior to the time that the bias is introduced by the originating commercial trades and guarantees executions with negative zero latency
The vendor claims it provides pre-frontrunning advantage and better than reading the mind of God, it reads the mind of Morg.
With speed comes vulnerability.
There's an older slower method called encapsulated trojan horse that could be useful.
The coffee is not kicking in this morning, please tell me oh great and wonderous Tylers that this is a spoof ... and if not, what in the hell is a government embargoed newsroom !?!?!?
Can they double the offer and make it available on iPad?
Ron Popeil would offer an iPad & double the offer - unfortunately you would have to wait for the 1AM infomercial....
MSNBC is live right now 11:32 EDT (not re-runs) selling the lybian and wisconsin freedom fighters. Not a taped infomercial. more of a news magazine. "they want apache helecopters over thier heads, why not give them to them?"
Because those are really expensive...and who gives a shit about Libya anyway?
True. It is time to use those copters as they were intended, on american soil, with bernake,and santa reunited again for one more tour. QE3.
Dear Ms. Landers,
And not meant to start a political shit-storm, but....
How in God's (OK, not meaning to start a religious shit-storm, either, just for literal expressive purposes.) name have things become so juxtaposed that the liberal faction of the MSM, America's Official Fourth Wing of Government (As per John Kerry...look it up if you don't believe me.) is cheering a US invasion of a not-as-of-yet-to-be-determined threat to domestic security? Isn't that the game plan usually reserved for the right wing section of the American One Party System?
Confused.
air strikes = humanitarian relief
go figure
Ron would also offer spray-on hair to customers to make up for the stress which your old algo package produced
If Billy Mays was selling me Alpha Flash I get some vaseline with my order!
These dirtbags could use a good going over with some Oxyclean.
That stuff makes great toothpaste .
I have heard of hydrogen peroxide, but oxy clean is a bit un-nerving Sarah.
It's OK. She didn't really think that herself. The comment was actually written on the palm of her hand by her senior political advisor, Bill the Cat.
BTW, how many - I mean how few... nanoseconds will it take to reach return on the AlphaFlash investment of 49,990$ for an average HFT desk?
That was a damn fine post. Amish Market reference and a Billy Mays style pitch...it just don't get much better than that.

Wasn't there somebody called Flashman??? Who was kind of a cad??? I remember my father reading his books and laughing about it.
Squeeky Fromm, Girl Reporter
I'm surprised we haven't heard anything out of the Philippines yet regarding radiation, but then again their government probably wouldn't mind a hundred million dead the way they treat them.
Yes, Flashman was from Tom Brown's School Days.
FlashDance was what happened on May 6th, 2010
I can write an app for that!
Key words for bot HFT:
QE: Buy
Higher inputs: Buy
Squeezed margins: Buy
Higher Unemployment: Buy
Earthquake: Buy
Tsunami: Buy
Radiation / Core Meltdown: Buy
Version 2.0 will broadcast fake economic data to competitor's HFT inputs and the CNBC ticker. Why settle for the usual fake government stats when you can just make up your own? Frontrun at your leisure, no need to wait for monthly reports.
Month end flows are in 36 hours.
Ask your doctor if AlphaFlash is right for you.
Premium package includes data feeds from advanced surveillance devices and parabolic mikes positioned around the Fed board room.
All feeds on the Alpha Flash platform say the same thing: BTFD! Hey, it's profitable--that's all that counts, right?
Once the bots turn 180 degrees and start to sell, there will be no stopping them short of unplugging the exchanges.
it's obvious you didn't get the memo. there will be no selling.
Do you posters understand the finish of repatriatriation of yen. Real money flows?
ehhh, the real problems won't start for another week or two. After that the insurance companies will have to start writing the checks, and the money will fly like superman on crack.
does it run on my iPhone?
Who needs it...I gots mah Hayes compatible 2400 baud modem.
This can only mean that Weimar II will soon be upon us. Greedy Germans! Aren't they satisfied ripping off Turks and Armenians? Do they need to steal from MBA's too?
is this an April fools joke?
