Thereby, the planned increase or decrease of the transaction- and/or broadcast volume is simulated. Thus, all components of the Front End Installation can be examined prior to the production debut, in which quality they correspond to the new requirements.
This could be
- introduction of an new trading strategy (for example PMM concept)
- trading in additional securities
- introduction of an additional market or an additional exchange
- etc..
Fundamentally, with a VIMAXLoad Analysis, the following questions shall be clarified:
- how high is the critical processing limit of the current trading system
- how does the currently present configuration react on a considerable modification of the transaction occurrence to be handled
- where do exist which demerits in the trading system and trading network with a n-times increase of the information load
- which potential risks could concern the trading business.
This approach is also valid for merely technical projects, such as the conversion of a Front End Installation on Co-Location access (proximity services), in order to state the effects of a modified network infrastructure, before resuming productive trading business.
A further essential field of application of a VIMAXLoad Analysis is the support of error analysis. Due to the fact that trading situations are not reproducible, a structured error analysis is difficult in that complex environment. Then a VIMAXLoad Analysis supports you in causing loads under control, in the trading system and beyond trading times; peculiarities are predictable and reproducible.
At the end of VIMAXLoad Analysis, a concept of the gained cognitions is worked out, describing targeted modifications of the trading system and assuring an undisturbed and yet performant trading business, during productive resp. to be expected system load.
