To answer both questions:

Yes, we are in stealth mode and our site is running in a rack 10 feet away from me. This may sound a little unusual but that's determined by the market/niche we are in.

We in the industry call it "low latency". Does anyone know where this term "high frequency" came from? Not that it matters.

It is somehow related - one can not achieve usable "high frequency" without low latency. So frequency = volume, latency = price accuracy in time.

I assume your business model must not require "five 9's" of availability, or does your sunny loft actually have access to to some sort of a natural gas generator that doesn't require a fueling contract?
