If you are seriously considering a competitive software solution for algo trading, there is now way around building your own. Buying a standard software solution requires modification and adaption to your infrastructure or modelling the software according to your expectations. You may end up paying high prices for adaption of a standard software solution, which may cost you more than developing your own software. Addittionally standard software solutions require compromises in programming language, data modelling and performance. Independent software vendors know that. They do not profit from software sales in algo trading but from the addittional support services and licences connected to their own "honey and milk" software.
We at Tempelhove have specialized at developing such high-end, high frequency software ourselves. We do not believe in plug and play for algorithmic trading. Our experience comes from building our own Tempelhove-Software, which is a high-performance algorithmic trading software for scientific algos. During the years, many customers have been asking us to develop similiar solutions for them. Because the adaption of such complex software is very costly, we learned that it was easier, quicker and cheaper to transpose our technical expertise from our Tempelhove-Software onto new trading frameworks for each of our client, instead of adapting our own software. We can build the software which our client need without painfull compromise.
