TradeStation Institutional (http://www.tradestation.com) is meeting the demands of institutional traders to provide low latency colocation hosting and connectivity via fiber from FCM360's low latency financial cloud.  This creates a turnkey low latency hosted trading solution for TradeStation's unique institutional customer base that in many cases are fully automating their trading systems in equities, futures, options and foreign exchange markets.

This offering allows traders the opportunity to have a single broker that offers a much-desired low latency trading infrastructure in sought after datacenters such as Equinix NY4 with direct fiber connectivity to matching engines, pricing and execution feeds. Traders that have infrastructure in other NY metro colocation facilities can also leverage the ultra-low latency FCM360 financial cloud to reach TradeStation's networks from the 111 8th Avenue New York facility in under 70 microseconds.

"FCM360's low-latency network and managed hosting services provides traders the easiest way to connect to brokers and liquidity with one underlying technology provider. The FCM360 financial cloud ensures that the cost and effort to maintain low latency trading infrastructure is within reach of all traders," notes FCM360's Jubin Pejman.

This hosting solution for TradeStation Institutional customers solves three common problems faced by traders:

1. Low Latency connectivity to matching engines
2. Multiple connectivity options allowing traders to access matching engines and pricing
