Even though raw binary data would be faster to transmit, I think implementing the websocket protocol may be the right move because it will be easier for users to create trading clients. The wikipedia page for websockets has a great description of the protocol.
I need to understand the protocol, how hard it is to implement authentication and what the performance penalty will be for improved usability.
