这里有一个访谈：

下面是他的一些言论:

"The natural way to boost li on instruments that are not as liquid is to introduce market-
making programmes. Basically, we have illiquid commodities and some other instruments that
could be hedged off internationally. So, what’s happening right now is that many of our clients
take the li that is here in Russia on Micex and Forts and then they expose this to international platforms – on LSE, on Eurex, on Turquoise, on MTFs and so on. This could be one of the ways we boost the li by encouraging the market-makers to trade locally, give them some incentive."

"The way Western exchanges bring li is that they bring brokers and clients who have the access to multiple exchanges or to any marketplaces that trade the same instrument. So you know that your competitors such as Eurex and Turquoise, which have derivatives on Russian DRs, create li by providing access to traders who already have access to Forts. So, basically they have the possibility of hedging and trading arbitrage. The same thing could
be done here. Clients who already have access to international markets can provide that li onto Forts"

"Well, essentially you can translate the market depth from one market onto another and if you’re an algo trader, you can hedge it immediately without any exposure and make money off the inefficiencies, just the little spreads. It’s not that difficult to transfer the li from one market to another"

"As Marina mentioned, the situation with MF Global was potentially fraud-related, so the sort of
day-to-day risk management procedures couldn’t really stop that. These kind of things definitely make us think more about our counterparty selection. We are in an environment when any bank can go down pretty much, despite the size, despite the history, balance sheet and so on and so forth. Our clients need extra assurance that their assets are fully protected, fully segregated etc. So we just go on and make sure that all the processes and all the rules are being followed."

"Our entire business model is essentially based on electronic trading and high turnover clients and they are being more and more demanding in terms of what they can do and what leverage they want. So, basically we are pushed to offer a multi-market, multi-asset class, high leverage platform which does require a lot of risk management systems and low latency as well. So, that’s a huge challenge for our IT and for our risk management to handle but we are doing it pretty well so far"

"Well, we haven’t really faced this particular yet because our main markets are mostly
Russia-based or out of London and at this point we haven’t really met any strict constraints on
expanding our business but we are prepared to do so because we are trying to keep up with the
market, with the technology and with market standards, so we are just going where the market
goes"

"We see that the algorithmic trading segment of our clients are catching up with their US and
European counterparts quite in terms of technology and in terms of adapting different
strategies and so on. Right now if we’re looking at the specific front ends and technology the clients use, they immediately look at the lowest latency possible solution which is co-location, native protocols, exchange protocols and self-made software. So, it’s all written by them, the fastest ones usually do it themselves and they pursue this model"

PCIe latency / your MMIO latency

Re: PCIe latency / your MMIO latency -- Linux PCI

我估计他们用的是Spoofing操控市场，因为报导中提到:

"伊世顿账户组通过高频程序化交易软件自动批量下单、快速下单，申报价格明显偏离市场最新价格，实现包括自买自卖（成交量达 8110手、113亿元人民币）在内的大量交易，利用保证金杠杆比例等交易规则，以较小的资金投入反复开仓、平仓，使盈利在短期内快速放大"

这个Spoofing手法在欧美也是违法的。

“Spoofing” is an illegal type of market manipulation that works like bluffing: A trader places big orders for stocks, bonds or futures to get others to think the price is going up or down. Then, in the blink of an eye, the spoofer cancels those orders and puts in opposite orders to take advantage of those traders. Spoofing can earn a big payoff but can undermine confidence in the markets and hurt other traders, The Wall Street Journal reports.

1 It skews the market

Spoofing undermines confidence in the markets because it can make prices move erratically and lead investors to feel tricked, analysts say. Some firms have developed software to red-flag suspected spoofing to avoid getting duped.

2 Government is cracking down

The 2010 Dodd-Frank law outlawed spoofing. Last year, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Chicago brought the first criminal case against an alleged spoofer. The announcement sent a shockwave through the trading community because traders usually face fines and trading bans, not prison time. Michael Coscia, the accused spoofer who denies the charges, is facing 12 counts of fraudulent and manipulative trading. The U.S. Attorney and a lawyer for Mr. Coscia declined to comment on the case, which is pending.

3 Lines are blurry

One problem traders and their lawyers are worried about is whether legitimate market activity could get swept up in anti-spoofing rules. Since time immemorial, traders have used techniques to hide their intentions. For instance, a trader on behalf of a company that needs corn could theoretically start out by saying he wants to sell rather than buy to avoid other traders catching on to his plan. Some seasoned traders have gone so far as to defend spoofing as healthy for markets.

4 Spoofing can be manual or automated

Recent cases against spoofers have highlighted the way that some high-frequency traders, who use computers to send a rapid stream of buy and sell orders into the market, engage in spoofing. But some investigations by regulators show point-and-click traders can also allegedly spoof the markets.

5 It can earn big profits, or deal losses

A seasoned spoofer can earn tens of thousands of dollars or more in days. But it requires a special ability to read the market at high speeds and, increasingly, technology that can help zip in and out of the markets. Spoofers have been known to lose huge amounts in short periods.
