There are lots of variables that go into this - hardware, internet connection, software etc. So I'm curious what others use to understand whether the totality of their system is working as it should.
There is obviously the "feel" test, whereby if the ladders aren't responding as one would expect then it's clear there is a problem, but sometimes that isn't enough.
What tests or metrics do you use to ascertain whether your trading setup is working as it should do?
Interesting question actually.
I used to work in IT Systems management before I retired, and used to manage Enterprise level tools like HP OpenView, New Relic etc to provide alerts and NOC displays to the techs, typically with a RAG (Red, amber, Green) status. Looking at hardware alerts, app hooks, end to end transaction analysis etc. All running to historical baselines and alerting on anything out of the norm.
Seems odd that I've nothing really in place for my trading kit. I'll have to look and see what's available on the Open Source side these days, though I'm a few years out of the loop now
