FINANCE & LATENCY
- Assumption that ultra low latency required.
- True for HFT or most algo trading.
- But not if a human is making the decisions.
- Meteor's data latency
Low level Publications Api
- Almost as easy to use as high-level API.
- Publish can be driven by server collection.
- But also by anything else...
- A non-mongo DB, or external API.
TICK DATA
THIS is the raw stuff
CANDLESTICK CHARTS
RATHER MORE READABLE
BRIEF
- Publish candlestick data from tick data.
- Subscribe to candlestick data remotely. (H/T Alan Shaw)
- Chart the results in a non-repellent way. (H/T Cloud9Trader)
- Go back to what I'm supposed to be doing.
THE BAD NEWS
- Tick data is impossible to get hold of...
- (At least it is without polling).
- Can't even find Bitcoin over a websocket!
- So, I made my own!
NEXT STEPS...
- Find a working crypto websocket.
- Get CSS3 animations working, or...
- Integrate with Famo.us!
- Anything else?
