Hey!
Do you guys know any competitions where you could test HFT strategies?
Interested in it and also in finding tick-by-tick data from some exchange
There are loads of competitions on minute data but I couldn't find any about HFT.
Quant Connect Team, what do you think about adding these kinds of features? Are there any demand and limitations?

Hi Nick Teil We're doing a skunkworks project at the moment ;) I'll let you know when its public.
Our platform has tick by tick data for equities, forex, futures. With QuantConnect you can implement virtually all types of strategies.
HFT is very widely defined; but the LEAN platform can probably handle down to 50ms cycle time in live trading if the brokerage can support it.

Jared Broad thanks, it'd be awesome! What's the approximate publication date?
One more question: does QuantConnect provide any tick-by-tick data which was collected after 2009?
It seems the exchanges changed quite a lot since then, didn't they?:)

Nick Teil That's what I found through googling the question:
websim.worldquantchallenge.com ;
www.quantiacs.com/Competitions ;
but unfortunately that's all not really about HFT, just trading competitions.
I also found one more called HFT Battle www.hftbattle.com Does anyone know anything about it? Have never heard it before..
