The Importance of Low-Latency
“As the financial industry’s gateway to over 80 financial providers worldwide, the low-latency Ethernet-based service provided by Yipes FinancialConnect! is critical to the Canadian marketplace’s trend toward algorithmic trading, which is accounting for an increased proportion of its trades,” said John Panzica, general manager of financial services, Reliance Globalcom. “This trend makes it particularly important for the market to have faster and more reliable access to market data, which improves order fulfillment and trading volume. When receiving market data or performing trade execution, milliseconds matter.”
