Ultra Low Latency HFT Infrastructure Curated for Every Exchange

A specialized algorithm selects the EC2 instance with the lowest latency to the exchange endpoint. Kernel and NIC are pre tuned, arbitrage routes pre wired. You launch; we handle the rest.

Deterministic Latency

Hardware affinity, NUMA pinning, and tuned interrupts keep packet jitter under microseconds.

Connectivity Ready

Arbitrage routes, cross connects, and DPDK friendly networking are pre wired to your venue.

How It Works

From signup to live trading in minutes. Configure exactly what you need for low latency performance.

01

Instant start

Spin up the workspace and move straight to trading tasks. Projects, roles, billing zero friction.

02

Closer to the API, faster execution

Pick your venue (Binance/OKX/Coinbase/etc.). We deploy next to its API so the path stays short and RTT consistent. REST/WebSocket, plus FIX where available.

03

Performance that fits your strategy

Preset profiles or fine grained resource tuning. Classic Linux or RT kernel engineered for steady p99.

04

Private paths & fine tuning

Enable private cloud routes and optimize the stack (IRQ/NUMA, HugePages, busy poll). See live p95/p99/p99.9 and precise time dashboards everything clear and in control.

Why Choose HFT Platform

Ultra Low Latency (Venue Adjacent)

Deployed next to venue APIs for a shorter path and steady p99 performance.

  • Same cloud & metro as your exchange (AWS / Alibaba / GCP / Azure)
  • Network accelerators where available: ENA Express / Andromeda / Accelerated Networking
  • NUMA aware CPU pinning, busy poll, predictable coalescing thresholds

Kernel Bypass When It Matters

Zero copy I/O profiles for maximum headroom selectively enabled per environment.

  • DPDK / AF_XDP profiles with tuned drivers
  • Safe fallbacks and per pod toggles for quick A/B validation

Arbitrage Optimized Private Paths

Turn up private cloud routes in minutes and keep the fastest cross venue paths locked in.

  • Direct Connect / ExpressRoute / Partner Interconnect templates
  • Continuous RTT benchmarking and smart route preferences

Enterprise Grade Security

Isolation by design with strong identity, private networks, and protected secrets.

  • Least privilege IAM, SSO (SAML/OIDC), zero trust bastion access
  • VPC/VNet segmentation, private endpoints, HSM backed secrets
  • Per tenant audit trails and policy controls

Deep Monitoring & Precise Time

See what drives execution quality: tail latency, jitter clarity, and time alignment.

  • Live p95/p99/p99.9 with microburst visibility
  • PHC/UTC offset panels; export to Prometheus or Graphite
  • Green zone delivery indicators

Deep OS & Kernel Tuning for HFT

Deterministic execution from scheduler and timers to IRQs and memory tailored to your strategy.

  • Kernel profiles: standard Linux or PREEMPT_RT (real time)
  • CPU & timer isolation: isolcpus, nohz_full, rcu_nocbs; pinned threads & IRQs
  • NUMA aware placement, static Huge Pages; NIC queue→core mapping (RSS/XPS)
  • Socket/stack tuning: sysctl profiles, busy poll/busy read, SO_REUSEPORT sharding
  • Scheduler & cgroups: SCHED_FIFO/RR, cgroups v2/cpuset profiles
  • Power policy tuned for consistent frequency residency

Why Not a Generic Cloud VM?

When microseconds decide P&L, “good enough” isn’t enough. Here’s how purpose built Crypto HFT Instances deliver consistent performance vs. commodity VMs.

Generic VM vs. Crypto HFT Instance
Criterion Generic VM Crypto HFT Instance
Latency Variable; occasional ms level tails Deterministic; microsecond class p99.99 with live SLOs
Network Interrupt coalescing on; shared NIC queues DPDK/AF_XDP, coalescing off, pinned RX/TX queues
Kernel Stock OS & kernel defaults HFT presets (incl. PREEMPT_RT option) and tuned sysctls
Arbitrage Paths Best effort internet path Measured ISP latencies; curated region pair map; private interconnects
Isolation Shared tenancy; SMT on; mixed interrupts Dedicated CPU sets, optional SMT off, explicit IRQ affinity
Monitoring & Time Basic VM metrics & NTP Live p95/p99/p99.9, microburst visibility; PTP/PHC panels; Prometheus/Graphite export
HFT ready kernel NUMA aware placement Arbitrage route planner 99.99% latency SLOs

Why It Wins Money

When microseconds decide outcomes, shaving latency improves fill probability and increases the share of opportunities you capture. The example below is illustrative; actual results vary by venue, fees, and strategy.

How the calculation works
  1. Maker effect (more fills at your price).
    ΔP&Lmaker = Norders × Qavg × Δpfill × emaker
    Δpfill is the increase in fill probability from the latency improvement Δt; emaker is net return per filled unit (spread share and fees/credits included).
  2. Taker/Arb effect (arrive earlier on a decaying edge).
    ΔP&Larb = Nevents × Qtaker × gedge × [e−(L−Δt)/τ − e−L/τ],
    where L is your current RTT, Δt the improvement, and τ the decay constant (related to half life).
  3. Total uplift: ΔP&L = ΔP&Lmaker + ΔP&Larb − ΔCost.
Why this model is sound
  • Calibrated on your data. We estimate your fill vs latency curve and arbitrage half life from logs.
  • Microstructure consistent. Queue dynamics for maker flow; survival of short lived price advantages for arb.
  • Validated empirically. Before/after comparisons, bootstrap confidence ranges, and out of sample checks.
  • Transparent. Dashboard charts: p95/p99/p99.9 RTT, Fill vs. Latency, venue pair half life, and uplift ranges.

FAQ

Can I bring my own OS image?

Yes. We support custom images and ship RT/HFT tuned presets out of the box.

How do you measure latency?

Built in synthetic tests, p99 to p99.99 percentiles, and per component breakdowns with Prometheus exports.
