Tradecope Certified

The evolution of high-frequency trading together with automated trading systems significantly increases the requirements for a trading systems' latency. Netcope Technologies offers a solution to minimize the latency by off-loading tick-to-trade execution into fast FPGA hardware. Tradecope is the first easy-to-use ultra-low latency trading system that allows anybody to benefit from pure hardware trade processing without the need for FPGA expertise or a hardware designer.

The performance of software implementations of feed handlers, trading strategies' logic or order generation usually shows a slow-down caused by the operating system running on the machine. There are several clear latency bottlenecks virtually on every common system running an OS.

Tradecope successfully overcomes these latency bottlenecks by implementing
a tick-to-trade engine directly in FPGA hardware:

• The whole FPGA hardware is fully dedicated to the trading system, there are no unnecessary tasks consuming the hardware processing power.
• The network communication containing the market data does not need to be forwarded to software, but instead is processed inside the FPGA network interface card eliminating OS kernel network stack latency and latency of PCIe transfers.
• True parallelism is a natural feature of FPGA hardware which can handle many distinct jobs at the same time.
• Runs on the family of Netcope FPGA Boards
