From my perspective, cost is the same whether you are a scalper or a position trader. If the average slippage is half a tick, it really doesnt matter whether I trade 100 1-lot orders or 1 100-lot order.
I believe that only applies to back-end. Unless I am sitting in a data center....
Of course, that's the advantage of co-location. That is why algos are co-located.
For us mortals, the real comparison of order execution should be between
Desktop --> Exchange
vs
Thin-Client (Cloud Solution) -> Cloud Server -> Exchange
Yes, actual execution would really be better than theoretical arguments about latency.
But again, I think you are wrong as far as order execution and data, all orders go to the exchange.
I think the cloud is just used for your settings.
Your concern was actually something that I thought about with other cloud solution before this thread created, but the more I talk to the tech guys that support cloud infrastructure, the more I realize that they also thought of these issues and they do send orders to the exchange.
I find it interesting that you use MarketDelta Trader because Trevor would not release, IMHO, any software without making a direct comparison to his own desktop application. I hope @MarketDelta would chime to answer shortly.

Hi Everyone, lots of great questions about our new cloud solution and I will try to respond individually. As Big Mike said earlier, we will get a webinar scheduled so you can see the platform.
@cogito - Our cloud app runs 100% in your browser and makes a direct connect to the Exchange via CQG...just like your desktop software. Only difference is the MD Cloud runs within your browser and your desktop app runs on your desktop. There is no way we would try to be a middleman and route the orders through another set of servers. Our servers simply serve up the app when you login and save your user profile so it is always backup and there in case you login from another computer.
We know speed is crucial to traders and use it ourselves to trade. In testing we ran it against several desktop DOM's and it performed faster or just as fast in ALL cases. In fast/volatile markets it performed much better. The data delivery is optimized for speed and efficiency and does extremely well in all market conditions.

The MarketDelta Cloud not a niche software product like MarketDelta Charts. The MD Cloud is a broad trading and charting product intended to be useable by anyone who trades futures and not just traders more specialized in order flow and volume profiling. The MD Cloud doesn't have our Footprint chart technology nor does it have Market Profile built into it.
It was solely developed by our own in house MD dev team...we hope you like it!

I'm curious as to the reasons why the cloud product excludes these features. Is it a design choice, a brand choice, a technical limitation within HTML5? Something you plan to add in the future?
@tturner86 Drawing on charts is coming soon...it's not in the product yet.

MarketDelta Cloud will work with any broker or FCM that supports CQG and there are 100's of them. While we haven't yet contacted them all, it technically can be made available to them any of them within a day or so if they contact us. They just need to enable your login for MarketDeltaCloud.

Time based charts for now but more on the way. All the drawing tools will be coming soon as well. It is a very solid platform that covers all the bases for the average user, but sophisticated or power users will have wait for their feature sets.
People use cloud apps everyday because of their easy of use, accessibility, and the fact they aren't bloated with years worth of features they will never use, let alone figure out. That's what we are doing with the MD Cloud. Hope you enjoy!

@TraderFish - try again. The launch was overwhelmingly successful and we ran out of demo logins which is the error you saw...No kidding!
Just log back into the app, visit the Broker Login page under your initials, and click Request Demo.

This is a brand new product from the ground up. We are pushing the limits of technology no doubt, but somebody has too! At MarketDelta we firmly believe the cloud holds the future of trading and how people want to access the markets. We excluded the Footprint, TPO Profile, and other features only because they serve a small portion of the overall trading community.
For the cloud we focused on what brings the most value to the average trader and are providing it within a platform (the cloud) that is very cost effective and will provide easy access to the markets on any device, anywhere.
