GeChic Road Testing - Initial Findings I like the GeChic very much...though I have only a few hours of trading with it. Last week I used it at a sitting desk...this morning I am moved some stuff around so that I can use it with my treadmill desk - which is where I like to do most of my trading. Last week, I found that it has made the afternoon trading (3-4 Eastern) much more pleasant. The monitor ships with a short cord...which I did not realize. So, if you get one, you may want to consider ordering the longer cord. I trade mostly on a 3 tick range bar chart....but plan on using the GeChic to help me to get down to either a 2 tick or a 1 tick....which would be very cool. Our order flow algos, which feed the bots, hold up quite well on the 2 tick, and surprisingly can provide good information on the 1 tick, The jury is still out as to whether the transparency of the Launch Pad is a good thing or not. I also see the benefit of having more flexibility with regards to allowing the user to re-configure columns in an ad-hoc fashion for the Launch Pad. This became apparent when I moved the Launch Pad to the right of the chart, and found that the execution buttons were way out in right field. I do miss some aspects of the physical keyboard....the tactile-ness of it, and also all of the other keys that I built into it such as Buy Bid, Buy Ask, Disable All, Flatten & Cancel. I have re-attached my physical keyboard so I am now using both the GeChic and the Cherry, So, in a nutshell, the jury is still out. Attached is a picture of my current configuration with the GE Chic on my treadmill desk, which is my 3rd iteration this morning, which I like very much - but can still use some improvement. The GeChic is on the lower right and is attached to a laptop that is to the right of the desk and out of the shot. I am connected to a co-lo server in CHI from the desk via RDC. The laptop, which has the GeChic connected to it, is connected to the server via TeamViewer. With this config, I think that we are in a zone where scalping is very solid. For instance, this trade's duration was 524 milliseconds: Entry DateTime Exit DateTime GCM8 Long 2018-04-09 10:22:07.071 2018-04-09 10:22:07.595 1336.8 1337.1 1 1 1 24.80 74.40 40.00 0.00 40.00 0.00 100.00% Caveat - This was filled by the Transact Sim server in Chicago (see Trade Activity Log graphic). Regardless, the order was not filled locally via SC's sim engine - which means the order had to leave the co-located Sierra Chart server and be processed by the Transact (all within 6/10 of a second), this includes: + Signal generation + Creation of order + Transmittal of order + Receipt of order + Filling of entry + Placing stop and target + Hitting target + Cancelling stop I like this model because if I had to send the order from VT to Chicago, instead of the bot sending the order from Chicago to Chicago, the transmission time would be 10-20 ms, and thus, this type of trade would never fill.
