Building a reliable market data processing system
Quantitative trading firms like GSA Capital make trading decisions based on market data. The timeliness, accuracy and reproducibility of the data influences the quality of these decisions greatly. This talk will focus on the architecture of a real-time tick-by-tick market data processing system, and engineering subtleties of building a reliable system of such.
