Freed from the severe constraints of running an algorithmic trading platform on a solitary home computer, market players using TradeForecaster enjoy the unparalleled benefits of our fast, reliable, and remarkably powerful hosted service technology,

At the heart of grid computing is the idea that, by breaking down even the most formidable of quantitative problems into smaller parts and then the distributing those parts over a network of high performance computers, this linked grid of servers can surpass, by several orders of magnitude, the abilities of a single supercomputer. Now imagine if someone arranged a room full of high-end computers into a grid network, and one begins to comprehend the processing power that TradeForecaster is packing.

While the user interacts with the TradeForecaster as a unified virtual command space, complete with market data graphs, charts, control panels, and the Strategy Catalog's mosaic of visualized strategies, each user's strategy could potentially be running on a different server. One entire server, for instance, might be dedicated to running just one of a user's many automated strategies. Meta-programs would provide a porosity to the system, regulating activities within a server as well as allowing servers to communicate with one another. With grid computing, task distribution pathways can be highly plastic, adapting to changes in user demand for optimal speed and power.
