This page includes coverage of Wall Street firms—both broker-dealer and asset management firms—data and infrastructure used for trading. It takes an indepth look at the technology and data used to run and populate many of the trading systems on Wall Street. This section also covers the infrastructure that many of the financial exchanges are built on and the data used to run these complex financial marketplaces. This section covers new trends in infrastructure as well as the data used to run many of the exchange’s technology. It also focuses on issues surrounding data latency, which is a major challenge on Wall Street, where every millisecond matters in getting the best price and getting a complete order filled. Stories discuss how firms are collocating servers near the exchanges to reduce data latency. On this section, also resides The TradersGold Book, which offers profiles of head traders from the buy side who discuss the technology—infrastructure and data—they use at their firms. The Gold Book includes podcasts with each of the traders interviewed.
