TickZoom Services, a technology company that specializes in building customized trading platforms for clients, announced the release of version 14.1 of its trading framework. The release includes the full source code except the kernel.
The TickZoom framework processes over 350,000 ticks per second with less than 100 megabytes of memory. Finite memory and fast processing of tick or bar data allow the user to test large quantities of historical data across a large number of portfolio symbols. The framework maintains less than 50 microseconds of latency for live trade execution. While clients can use the framework as a trading platform without customization, value may be added if it is used as the foundation for a custom platform.

MIPS Timing Systems has released its newest medium-frequency stock market trading model, MIPS4/MF+, which is a derivative of its flagship MIPS3/MF model. MIPS4/MF+ was engineered to trade either the single-leveraged SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF), long and short, or double-leveraged ETFs on long signals and single-leveraged ETFs on short signals (such as SSO on longs and SH on shorts).
The MIPS models use modified technical indicators, applied mathematics, artificial intelligence, and pattern recognition to identify directional changes in the stock market (“inflection points”) and to follow the intermediate-term trends that ultimately develop. Since MIPS identifies and follows intermediate-term trends, its models are considered to be medium-frequency trading systems, averaging about 10–20 trades per year. Performance results on the flagship MIPS3/MF timing model are available at the tracking service TimerTrac.com.
