The speed at which trading occurs in the market, where milliseconds can translate into millions, makes your trading platform’s performance critical. The scalable and resilient AQX Trader platform is powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is intended to satisfy the precise requirements of modern brokers.

AQX Trader leverages the reliable infrastructure offered by AWS to manage the enormous amounts of data and quick computations required for high-frequency trading. By utilising AWS’s extensive global network of data centres, linked by low-latency networks, AQX Trader ensures quick access to computational power to handle fluctuating data, preventing performance degradation during peak trading periods, all while benefiting from AWS auto-scaling capabilities.

A primary concern is safeguarding private financial information. AQX Trader on AWS uses a multi-layered security approach that includes strong data encryption to protect information while it’s in transit and Web Application Firewalls (WAF) to defend against common web exploits.

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) guarantees fine-grained control over user authorisation, and ongoing threat monitoring adds an additional degree of security.

AWS’s extensive global footprint brings your trading platform closer to your clients, reducing network latency. This is crucial for ensuring optimal trading experiences, as lower latency translates to faster order execution and reduced slippage.

We don’t tolerate downtime in the trading industry.

Redundancy and fault tolerance are provided by AWS’s multi-availability zone (AZ) architecture, which lessens the impact of possible disruptions. Because of AWS’s auto-scaling capabilities, AQX Trader can easily scale up or down to accommodate changing data processes. This guarantees cost-effectiveness and peak performance.

By distributing incoming traffic among several servers, AWS load balancers improve system responsiveness and avoid performance snags. Combined with auto-scaling and Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, this architecture provides the processing power required to manage even the most taxing trading workloads. 

Leveraging AQX Trader on AWS Cloud can significantly enhance a broker’s ability to attract, retain, and grow their trader base:

Trust and loyalty are increased when traders feel confident that their data is safe and that the platform will be there for them when they need it.
