High-Frequency Scalping: Infrastructure Requirements

Scalping is taking small profits (0.1% - 0.5%) dozens or hundreds of times a day. To do this, Speed is your primary feature.

The Latency Game

1. Network Latency: The time it takes your signal to reach the exchange.
   • Solution: Hosting servers in the same AWS region as the exchange (e.g., Tokyo for Binance).
2. Execution Latency: The time your code takes to calculate.
   • Solution: Optimized C++ or Rust backends (like our ML Engine).

API Rate Limits

Exchanges hate spam. If you send too many orders, you get banned. Smart bots use Websockets for real-time data instead of polling (asking) the API constantly. This is faster and uses less quota.

Can Retail Compete?

Yes, but not with a mouse and keyboard. You need automation. Our Cloud Infrastructure provides enterprise-grade latency to retail accounts.
