Yes, you are correct. On an average Linux box to have a single cache line data transfer between the cores under 150ns 99% of the time is about the best that you can get. Especially…

Duh. Common. Describe me just one automated strategy for which $130k would not be a phenomenal outlier. And you were talking multiple strategies...

Now you are just bullshitting. A 130k is a huge loss and a phenomental outlier. You've never had even a 100k loss on your strategies. And by current standards your strategies are n…
