Industry Overview

As market data volume experiences exponential growth, financial companies are facing immense pressure to maintain the efficiency of their electronic trading platforms. Traditional systems have reached their limits.

In the financial services industry, the success is measured by factors like system performance, latency, jitter, and trade execution time. In such a demanding environment, even a one-millisecond delay in trade execution can lead to losses in the millions of dollars.

To achieve lower latency, High-Frequency Trading (HFT) firms often colocate their servers in data centers where exchange matching engines are located, such as the hosting facilities of exchanges like the Shanghai Stock Exchange's Waiqiao Exchange Hosting Center, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's Southern Center Shenzhen Hosting Center, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange's Jinqiao Hosting Center. However, these exchange-provided hosting facilities have limitations in terms of physical space and power resources, often leading to resource shortages.

Solution Analysis

Gooxi has introduced the "Light and Shadow High-Frequency Trading Server" to meet the continuous demand for stable, high-frequency operation and ultra-low response latency in the high-frequency trading process. This server boasts system latency up to 30% lower than traditional servers, providing clients with a nanosecond-level advantage for investment decisions and more operational time and space.

The server's overall hardware uses an optimized combination and system tuning, pushing CPU clock frequencies to their limits, effectively enhancing the user experience and helping clients gain a competitive edge in the market.

1. High Performance

The Light and Shadow High-Frequency Trading Server is tailored for the needs of financial quantitative analysis. Through customized adjustments to server firmware, BIOS, and underlying logic, it maximizes CPU processing capacity, stably running at up to 6GHz. This enhances single-machine processing capabilities, allowing for higher trading performance within limited hosting center spaces.

2. Low Latency

Through comprehensive custom tuning, system latency is significantly reduced by more than 30% compared to traditional servers. This boosts real-time computing capabilities, effectively avoiding slippage and enabling timely access to market data, helping users gain a competitive edge.

3. High Stability

The Light and Shadow Server employs industrial air cooling technology, ensuring stable operation under full-power high-load conditions, meeting the long-term stability requirements of CPUs operating at high clock frequencies and addressing frequency hopping issues. Additionally, liquid cooling solutions can boost the clock frequency to 6GHz.

4. Hosting Centers

Gooxi's Light and Shadow Servers undergo rigorous system testing and are certified for hosting center deployment, allowing them to be directly deployed in exchange hosting center facilities, reducing latency from the physical layer to a minimum.

Application Scenarios

Gooxi's Light and Shadow Server is widely applicable in the financial industry for tasks such as electronic trading, Direct Market Access (DMA), pre-trade risk checks, market data processing, latency monitoring, acceleration algorithms for trading, and accelerating Tick-to-Trade. It can be used in scenarios like high-frequency trading, rapid order placement, trend following, cross-period arbitrage, market making, and more.
