These posts kill me. Anyone who says they are burning strategies onto fpgas when they trade with GDAX has no idea what they or doing or talking about. The platforms are way too immature for this to matter. Source, was in real HFT for 10+ years.

Seriously. I bet the data feeds don't even use FPGAs let alone the matching engines. If I'm not mistaken, GDAX runs on AWS.

Yep, can confirm from the other side. (Someone doing crypto equivalent of “HFT”.) It’s nowhere near real HFT level.
