I recently saw an advertisement for Zap futures (Futures
Magazine, I think) which touted an application that trades from
signals generated by a strategy running in TS2000. By the looks
of the ad, the signal to the trading software fired concurrently
with the signal generation, and the fill took place in about 1
second. This could very likely be plain, old puffery, but it is
conceivable with some sort of API to Globex2.
Does anyone know any more about this? I've written to Zap futures
to inquire, and I'm sure I'll be getting contacted by a 'helpful'
salesperson, hopefully one who knows some detail about the
product.
I've seen some pretty disparaging things said about Zap as a
futures broker on this and some other maillists. Does anyone have
recent experiences with them that they could add.
While I'm acutely aware of the dangers and pitfalls of automated
trading, I was thinking that it might be nice to take my hands
off the keyboard every so often and put them behind my head--I'll
watch the autopilot fly the airplane (...but I won't leave the
cockpit to go to the bathroom....)
