The Challenge
Multiple exchanges. High-volume trades. Zero room for failure.
A large-scale securities trading platform serving over 10,000 users faced the challenge of operating across multiple stock exchanges and market segments. With high-volume transactions and performance-critical operations, the platform required infrastructure that could match its scale, flexibility, and speed.
What Was Needed?
A unified front office with speed, stability, and scalability.
To meet growing demands, the client required a single-screen application that could enable trading across equities, derivatives, and commodities. The system needed to:
- Support multiple stock exchanges and segments
- Easily integrate new exchanges via adapters
- Allow users to configure existing key mappings
- Maintain familiar interface and UX to match previous systems
Our Approach
Modular, adaptable, and designed for peak loads.
The solution was built with a modular architecture focused on flexibility and reliability:
- A high-performance in-house stream server
- Cross-platform support across desktop, mobile, and internet
- Architecture that supports horizontal scaling and load balancing
- Implementation of standard financial data protocols like FIX and FAST
- Deployment designed to overcome firewall and antivirus challenges
Technologies Used:
- Frontend: Adobe Flex, Android SDK, Cross-platform Mobile SDK
- Server Side: Java EE, HornetQ, Apache Tomcat
- Database: Oracle 11i
- Transactions: 1–10 lakh+ per day per organization
- Users: 10,000+
The Outcome
Real-time trading at scale—no compromise on performance.
With over 50 brokerage firms onboarded, the new platform enabled seamless trading across all leading stock exchanges and segments. Its architecture ensured high availability and zero single points of failure, while maintaining real-time performance.
What Changed?
From fragmented to unified—without missing a beat.
Multi-exchange and multi-segment trading consolidated into one interface
Flexible integration of new exchanges through adapters
Load-balanced, scalable infrastructure ready for future growth
Reliable performance despite high daily transaction volumes
The Big Picture
Designed for change. Built to last.
By blending modular design with scalable architecture, this implementation proved that high-frequency trading systems can deliver flexibility and consistency—without ever compromising on performance.
