Financial Exchange Projects at Cornet Research Sdn Bhd

Implementation of HKEx market feed for equities

This implementation of Market Feed for equities was done for HKEx (Hong Kong Exchange).

Environment : Linux, C++ Builder XE4

Frameworks/Libraries Used: Poco, Boost

Database : MongoDB, In Memory

Languages : C++

Role in Project

Responsible for Designing and Implementing the Market Feed for equities for HKEx.

o Real Time Market data feed was retrieved by using multicast communication handler. Small gap data was

retrieved from Retransmission Channel, which uses TCP/IP Protocol. For Large Gaps, retrieval was done from

Refresh Channel, using multicast communication handler.

o Data from various channels was retrieved simultaneously with the help of multithreaded design.

Extensively used STLs (vectors, set, etc), Poco utilities and boost functions.

o

Market Data was used to provide various informations like Real Time Statistics data(Streaming as well as

o

Static), Level Depth of the SGX Market By Price for both sides was updated and displayed at front end.

o For very fast retrieval, data was stored both In Memory(Re design for performance). To keep historic data,

Mongo was used.

o Disaster Recovery procedure was handled.

All the OMD C Readiness Test was passed for SS, Odd Lot Order Book and Index Feed. Able to handles

o

tests like Refresh channel reset, sequence reset in realtime channel, performance and capacity test (100%), gap

fill via. Retransmission channel and line arbitration, etc. Currently it is ready to be deployed in production

environment.

Implementation of SGX market feed for equities

This implementation of Market Feed for equities was done for SGX (Singapore Exchange).

Environment : Linux, C++ Builder XE4

Frameworks/Libraries Used : Poco, Boost

Database : MongoDB, In Memory

Languages : C++

Role in Project

Responsible for Designing and Implementing the Market Feed for equities for SGX.

o Used OMNIAPI to implement query for retrieving the baseline information from SGX.

o OMNIAPI used to retrieve market data from SGX in three ways:

Static Data

Dynamic(Streaming) Data

Exchange Control related Data

o Market Data was used to provide various informations like Real Time Statistics data(Streaming as well as

Static), Tracking Trades Done, Level Depth of the SGX Order Book for both sides was updated and displayed at

front end.

o For very fast retrieval, data was stored both In Memory. To keep historic data, Mongo was used.

Implementation of Financial Chart using Teechart

Financial Chart implemented is exchange agnostic. This financial chart takes in historical data and uses it to calculate

and display various indicators, used by traders to assist in their trading.

Environment : C++ Builder XE4

Frameworks/Libraries Used : Boost

Database : MongoDB

Languages : C++

Role in Project

Responsible for Designing and Implementing Financial Chart using tee chart.

o Designed the frontend to display historic data (Price and Volume).

o Various indicators were added to display and assist the traders. The indicators displayed were:

MACD, RSI, Stochastics, Simple Moving Average, Exponential Moving Average, Bollinger Band,

RVI, etc.

Since it was designed independent of the exchange, same chart is used for displaying Bursa(BTS2)

o

Malaysian Stock Exchange, HKEx and SGX related information.

Implementation of Tracker

The Tracker is an exchange agnostic program which captures everyday Open, High, Low, Close & Total Volume of the

securities for various intervals (Starting with base interval of one minute, followed by 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 & 60 Minutes,

daily, weekly, monthly and yearly). It also stores Tracker Summary. All of this data is provided live and streaming.

Environment : Linux

Frameworks/Libraries Used : Poco, Boost

Database : In Memory

Languages : C++

Role in Project

Responsible for Designing and Implementing the Tracker Logic

o Implemented an idempotent program which captures the open, high, low, close, total volume and total value

of the securities.

Captures every trade done and provides Live Streaming data (open, high, low, close, total volume) for

o

various minute intervals (1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60), daily, weekly, monthly and yearly.

o Ensured that during the configurable break intervals, no data was displayed.

In Memory caching was done for very fast access of data.

IP Layer Projects at Nokia Siemens Networks

Implementation of providing support to NetAct to configure Link State Detection

This implementation of Link State Detection is used to provide redundancy in the Media Gateway when the next hop

of the gateways goes down, it should switch over to the alternate gateway, almost seamlessly. This should also be

monitored and information provided to the Platform and Applications, which may use this information and provide the

necessary path to route the IP traffic. This configuration support is now extended to the NetAct.

Environment : WindRiver Linux

Target Hardware : ATCA cluster with 16 core Octeon blade as application node and BCN.

Languages : C++

Role in Project

Responsible for Designing the Link State Detection module to interface with NetAct

o Direct parameter map wasnot supported with NetAct, hence the design had take care of the NetAct

limitations and also provide an easy to use interface.

o Various discussions with the team to finalize if any progressive design had any limitations.

Was responsible to propose various designs and held discussions with System Architects of the affected

o

area and finalized the design.

o During this design phase, various bugs in the already implemented Link State Detection were found.

Responsible for Implementing the Link State Detection module that interfaces with the NetAct

New development approach followed where the testcases which form the blue print of the actual requirement

o

as stated by the APO, are documented and used for sample against which final deliverable will be approved.

o Automated the testcases using Shell and Perl scripts and make sure they break the system and test the

functionality.

o Implementation of the Link State Detector module that interfaces with the NetAct. This included using various

C++ functionalities like STLs, boost library.

o Testing with the already automated testcases and making sure these pass now. CPPUnit Module testcases

were written and made sure that code coverage exceeded 85%.

o The switch over time was calculated and tested and test cases automation the actual scenario in the test

setup was created using IXIA traffic generator.

o Upgrade from one build to another was performed and tested that the build still supported all the features

and configuration was carried forward.

o KlockWorks was run and verified that no memory leak existed. If any error existed, these errors were fixed

and made sure that zero Klockwork errors existed for the module modified.

Implementation and verification of VLAN bonding

The scope of this user story was to make sure the bonding support is extended to VLAN interfaces and also FI

interfaces. All the available bonding solution should be available to these VLANs and FI interfaces as well.

Languages : C++

Role in Project

Understanding the bonding implementation

Verifying that VLAN and FI interface can be bonded and fixing the issues wherever it arised.

Fixed a prevailing issue in fastpath with no sync in fast path related hooked command and slow path related

hooked command.

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) was used. This helped for storing, accessing, searching,

retrieving data for applications (high load network, where speed is critical).

Implementation of Link State Detector which is used in Media Gateway

The Link State Detector is based on the Link Aggregation concept. This allows operator to configure a group of links

and based on the last link or first link concept, we could switch to the group with the highest available resource.

Environment : WindRiver Linux

Target Hardware : ATCA cluster with 16 core Octeon blade as application node and BCN.

Languages : C, C++

Role in Project

Responsible for designing the Link state detectors groups concepts, the way it should be stored in LDAP and

designing the various necessary fields and also implementation of this group concept.

Customer problems regarding the same were handled and helped other team members in fixing customer

problems.
