,----[ Quote ]
| A new software upstart Marketcetera contends that its open source platform
| for building automated trading systems is an alternative to the likes of EMS
| providers Portware and Flextrade. Marketcetera's CEO Graham Miller (who
| previously worked at hedge funds where he developed automated trading
| systems) regards these platforms as proprietary and calls them restrictive
| and inflexible as well as expensive.

| As Linux evolved, it threatened the likes of Microsoft Windows and Sun’s Unix
| (Solaris). Well now every major Wall Street brokerage firm and exchange is
| running Linux — though they may have bought a software license from Red Hat.
| [Most recently, NYSE Euronext migrated its electronic trading to Linux under
| a deal with open source vendor Red Hat.]
