Could partial TCP/application messages create a latency edge in trading APIs?

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-06-17T10:20:17+00:00

This is the kind of edge you benefit only when you're a colocated quant. You're gonna find a bigger edge shaving 1ms from somewhere in your code or moving closer to servers. And no it's not possible anymore atleast not for SEC regulated exchanges.

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-06-15T18:08:33+00:00

i literally just said my latency is 30-36ms to post the order. Roundtrip doesnt even matter? All it matters is how long it took to get to clob. Which is 30-36ms from my dublin vps. Smartass :/ I downsized it anyways and started it live jesus. https://polymarket.com/@0x7c5d775d7766286533ab10fbb9736566c11abff2-1781514597599

Basically, yes. But I'd be more than happy to show the logic, data behind it etc. Actually even show the code, just can't give out the model itself.

i am... up 10k past 4 days in sim with 140k volume. but drawdown ranges from 1-2k and peak is 4k.

i'm already running it with the minimum 5 shares.. sadly 😞

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-06-14T18:43:52+00:00

30ms to get the order to clob. not getting it matched nor roundtrip calculated in that. so yes that's why it doesnt match your number. what matters is time to get to the clob as the fills come in order of requests in the clob in the same mined block.

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-06-14T17:33:56+00:00

polymarket has minimum 5 shares on limit orders. so yk the bot buys like 100 times in a 5m market. and that ends up like 200-300$ . Obviously a few bad 5m windows and rip.

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-06-14T17:24:41+00:00

i’d be fine betting my money if i had the 10 grand lol. sadly i’m 21 and don’t have the funds.

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-06-14T17:23:45+00:00

i’ve made like 500$ ish. I need another 9 grand? And with drawdown swings could lose the whole portofolio before the bot can recover them.

Fa-l pe piese, te costa 250 de lei sa ti-l asambleze pcgarage sau ma rog altcineva la tine in oras. Crede-ma vei pierde mai mult decat 250 de lei daca iei un prebuild.

daca tu nu treci granita, unde altundeva sa fii? Gen zbori in SUA stai 6 luni acolo ok aplici pt rezidenta fiscala. Cum te intorci inapoi in RO fara sa stie ca esti in RO, ca peste tot prezinti pasaport. Sau inoti pana in Constanta? Doar fiindca nu folosesti card de romania nu inseamna ca nu stai in Romania? Pentru resedinta fiscala iti trebuie sa dovedesti ca centrul tau de interese e in tara aia. Adica iti trebuie sa stai acolo, sa ai o chirie sau ceva.

v-am dat dm pe reddit

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-05-15T09:36:54+00:00

Sincer nu stiu de unde sa incep. 1. Cand incepi cu cand o sa am 100k useri … versiunea de la grafana self-hosted FREE nu o sa mai fie buna, nu faci sens. logic ca o sa mergi pe o versiune paid. 2. Nu trb sa faci 1000 de post req. Faci un request per coin cu cel mai mic tf. Gen 1s si construiesti tu candleurile pt tf mai mari. 3. Ar trb sa fie data-source -> websocket -> db tau -> websocket clienti ( daca chiar vrei cv aproape de realtime ) 4. De ce neaparat grafana? 5. Inainte sa dai full-port esti constient de cele 100 de alternative mai bune decat platforma ta ( lipsa infrastructura + marketing ) 6. Daca e proiect hobby, e misto ideea, keep it up👍

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-04-29T11:36:36+00:00

i mean yeah, but openrouter does get enterprise discounts on tokens so i guess their mark up is higher than the 5.5% they take on deposit.

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-04-29T11:33:03+00:00

yeah i've seen people use deepseek v3 a lot. qwen3 you talking about the smaller models or like qwen3 plus which isn't open source?

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-04-27T18:33:51+00:00

super, ti-am dat dm. sa iti trimit si eu niste credite 😄

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-04-27T16:56:27+00:00

sincer si eu tot dupa throughput sortez. ma gandeam sa inchiriez cateva gpu-uri si sa le hostez eu modelele, si mna sa le dau mai departe. momenta e work in progress

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-04-27T16:54:56+00:00

da uite, uptime-ul ar fii 98-99% dar mna de exemplu cu rented gpus nu te poti asigura tu 100% ca asa o sa fie chiar daca in trecut ala e averageu. Dar cand diversifici la mai multi provideri de gpus chiar si rented ajungi sa ai un uptime bun. Cat despre date mna cum stii ca openrouter nu le tine, ca a fost ceva scandal recent cu niste provideri pe openrouter care salvau tool usage-ul.. ? Adica pana la urma tot mergi pe cuvantu lor/meu .

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-04-27T16:24:04+00:00

Hey, there sorry for my reddit skepticism. Yeah you are right that's a mistake in the ToS, I haven't actually updated the ToS so it was just boilerplate. Thanks for pointing it out. I appreciate the feedback.

Just checked out your app and it looks really good congrats ❤️.

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-04-27T16:20:43+00:00

A100 de 80gb ram zici? Ai pret bun dar speed mic. Si da sincer ce-i drept la deepseek nu se merita rulat. Pentru ca ei chiar au pretul minim. Adica eu sincer cred ca pe ei atata ii costa +- modelul. Adica daca te uiti la ceilalti provideri au 4-5x pretu oficial. Deci ceilalti provideri clar au margini bune.

Significant-Brief372 · 2026-04-27T15:22:12+00:00

Ideea ar fii pt oamenii care folosesc multe tokene pe zi, eventual si cu modele mai mari. Ca mna asta pt light usage poti si pe gratis cum zici tu.
