NxCore What others are saying

	What others are saying about NxCore
	In today's marketplace, there is no room for error, data omission, latency or excuses when it comes to market data. After we had been a customer of Hyperfeed for five years and S&P Comstock for two, I had come to the realization that to get market data "right", I was going to have to do it myself. Our troubles with Hyperfeed and Comstock were nothing short of endless. Technology shortcomings, database misconfigurations, data losses and endless excuses. Six months into a project to build our own ticker processing plant for SIAC and OPRA feeds I somewhat accidentally ran into Nanex and NxCore. It took nothing more than a one week evaluation of NxCore for us to make the decision to terminate the new ticker plant development efforts and to make a full commitment to NxCore. This is a decision that could not have turned out better. Our trading precision has grown significantly, profits have grown and NxCore is the foundation of our data requirements. Every representation made of NxCore is flawlessly accurate. Without a doubt, Eric Hunsader is a visionary in the market data software field and has created the most useful, reliable and completely well thought out ticker plant in the industry. You can consider the rest, but choose only the best - NxCore. J. Brian Schaer USA Securities I have been in the financial markets for over 20 years. I have tried all kinds of software and data products. Just like everything else in the marketplace the "sales pitch" is usually far from the actual experience. There are other testimonials about NxCore and how wonderful the data feed is and how easy it is to use (I was up and running in a couple of days). I agree with everything "technical" that you can read in all the other testimonials – NxCore, as a product, is truly amazing. However, it is my expectation that something that is advertised to work – WILL WORK – AND will work as advertised. Obviously, NxCore works as advertised. BUT, where NxCore is vastly differently from "the rest" is their customer service AFTER the sale. I have had my share of issues (all except one were my errors), but each time I contacted Eric for help he accommodated me quickly, efficiently and "happily" - even when I had made some stupid mistakes in my software and blamed the NxCore product. (Which is what all programmers do right? "It can’t be my software!!!") Nanex’s commitment to supporting me on an ongoing basis is just as important to me as the quality of their product. Thank you Nanex for your "cutting edge technology" and your "very old-fashioned customer service". Jeff Smith Spokane, WA I am a developer who has been writing applications for the financial markets since 1986. I am not a trader. Trading would distract me. I write applications for professional traders and they pay me extremely well to do so. Since 1986, I have coded for almost every imaginable ticker plant - feed stream - api system known….From the early DTN cable boxes, ESignal boxes, PCQuote Satellite systems, Hyperfeed and Comstock servers, Quote.Com, Spryware servers and more (hey it's been 20 years I've probably forgotten a few). I have also spent many years in the trenches of real-time 3d graphics programming and have honed a variety of optimization skills which are equally applicable to coding for financial markets. I have worked (as a contractor) for numerous Fortune 500 companies as a senior developer and have in the past found enough time to have several technical articles/books published. I currently work as the Senior Software Developer for Exx.com LLC. I tell you this so that you may know where my experience lies how to better interpret my views. I have only recently been made aware of NxCore (March 2007) and what I can tell you right up front is that, quite simply, NxCore is by far the most powerful and robust piece of Ticker Plant software I have come across in my coding career. Regarding the speed and throughput of the actual NxCore application and data stream, I'm going to keep this simple and tell you that it is everything it is advertised to be and more. For the first time in a long time (in my career) the software is exactly what it claims to be. Read the spec sheet from Nanex….it is 100% accurate. As for coding NxCore, the problem is really where to start? The structures are the cleanest I have seen in ticker plant software. Easy to understand, easy to access and every data type has been thought through completely. Say goodbye to string compares entirely for symbol lookup with several mechanisms ready for you to utilize for lightning fast access and issue lookups. Say hello to having data for the ENTIRE market ready to access immediately. And say hello (maybe for the first time) to consistency within a system that has been thought through from every angle NxCore is fundamentally different than other applications of the same nature. .

It has always been a major ongoing issue getting a reliable data feed at a decent price. Over this time I have used just about every product on the market, and since I found NxCore the issues have faded away. Not only do I not need the T1 lines anymore but I can reliably receive data via an internet connection and easily compete in the arbitrage market. I would highly recommend this service to anyone. Mike Ianni Richmond Hill, Ontario Canada I have been using continuous data feeds since 1995. I started with BMI and then changed to Hyperfeed. In mid 2004, Hyperfeed notified me that by the end of the year it would take 3 dedicated T1's bundled together to supply me with the data I was receiving and that they expected the requirements to double in time. Fortunately Eric was beginning to test his new Nanex product NxCore. I tested it and found that not only did it broadcast the same continuous data that I was receiving, but it also created a large daily file that I could do detailed time and sales studies against and it all came over the internet! Harold Lanier Roswell, GA I switched from Hyperfeed / Comstock about this time last year to NxCore. NxCore offers state of the art design, function, and reliability that does not exist in other products in the marketplace. The service has been outstanding. The product design is excellent, the support from Eric Hunsader is without parallel, and the accuracy of the data is the best I have seen. R.K. Dallas, TX I have used a number of data feeds, including Hyperfeed. The NxCore API is by far the easiest to use and the NxCore data feed is by far the fastest, the most complete and the most robust. But best of all the entire NxCore data feed, including bbo options, is easily delivered over a 3mbps internet connection. NxCore requires nothing more than a cable modem and a modest P.C. to receive the entire US equitity and option market. Rudi Binnewies California This feed is HIGHLY recommended. There's nothing else like it. (I make that statement with the historical perspective of having used the old Universal Market Data Server and M3 with Comstock, E-Signal with its ActiveX API, Quote.com with its API). Allan Kaminsky See full review Making sure that we are getting a “complete picture” of the day’s trading activity is an essential requirement for our “black box” application and website development efforts. NxCore made that possible and they did 90% of the work for us. Using the NxCore data API’s and the provided application programming templates, we were accessing the core real-time data we needed within 2 days of starting our development. If you need a complete market data feed with a powerful yet easy-to-use data API, there is simply nothing else comparable to NxCore. With other market data providers, if your data link goes down you have lost that market data forever. With NxCore we did not lose a single trade or quote message when our ISP recently experienced a major fiber outage. When the ISP connection came back up after the hour long outage, NxCore automatically downloaded the missed data and our application servers we were back running normally within 8 minutes. We didn’t even have to restart a single application. For us NxCore was simply the only product that could meet our need for complete market data access over the Internet with an easy-to-use yet powerful data API. Greg Ferris Former President and COO CyBerTrader Inc. After over a year of service from ESignal I decided to switch to NxCore. I have now been using NxCore for almost a year and to date I have found their service to be far superior in every conceivable dimension. Their servers run with fewer interruptions. Their software is far more robust. The API is significantly more intuitive to work with and the brilliant interface to the data eleminates costly look-up times. The tech support is unparalleled for any industry. Eric Hunsader offers friendly and extremely competant support beyond all expectations. Still further, NxCore has redefined low latency data delivery. Their proprietary data compression format makes it possible to deliver an enormous amount of data via cable modem with virually no lag! NxCore offers a superior real-time data feed solution appropriate for anyone - from the largest institutions to smallest in house operation. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a reliable data feed solution. R.A. Florida Over my 15 years plus of trading experience, I've used several different data feeds and charting applications. .. [Click here to read the full text] .. In summary, the bottom line is that my trading profits have increased dramatically over the last year and a half and I attribute a great deal of that to the use of NxCore Hot List data and the capabilities it provides.
