Empowering Customer-Defined Electronic Trading Workflows

In today's fast-paced financial markets, sell-side firms and trading venues are under constant pressure to innovate and differentiate themselves in the quest for order flow.

Success demands the ability to adapt quickly to changing market conditions, regulatory landscapes, and client needs. The RA Platform enables you to achieve precisely that by providing unparalleled flexibility to implement customer-defined electronic trading workflows and functionality.

The Power of Our Platform

The RA Platform is built on a foundation of flexibility, offering both an intuitive and user-friendly web interface or Java API that allows customers to:

Design custom workflows and routing rules that meet both individual client requirements and your specific business needs.
Inject your intellectual property directly into the platform to build custom pre-trade risk parameters, bespoke trading algorithms and other value-added functions that differentiate you from your peers.
Respond to evolving market and client demands with the ability to quickly build, test, and deploy new functionality.

All of this can be achieved without leaking your intellectual property to your competition, giving you first mover advantage when bringing new ideas to market.

Why Flexibility Matters in a Competitive Environment

In a highly competitive market, agility is key. Legacy platforms often constrain innovation with rigid workflows, limited customisation options, and slow feature rollouts tied to inflexible product roadmaps. Waiting for a vendor to deliver new functionality can mean missed opportunities and diminished competitiveness.

By contrast, the RA Platform empowers you to:

Develop and deploy tailored trading capabilities that set you apart from peers.
Address specific client needs quickly and effectively, fostering trust and loyalty.
Capitalise on market opportunities by deploying new functionality at pace.

Overcoming the Challenges of Legacy Systems

Traditional trading technology is often characterized by static feature sets and vendor-controlled development cycles. These limitations hinder innovation and prevent firms from staying ahead of the curve, exposing them to the following restrictions:

Legacy vendors typically require customers to wait for roadmap updates, delaying access to critical features.
Standardised offerings often fail to address unique business requirements, limiting differentiation and failing to meet your unique requirements.
Customisations can be costly and time-consuming, further slowing down innovation while creating deeper vendor lock-in.

Even when trading platforms have been built in-house to meet your specific needs, without significant ongoing investment issues can quickly arise regarding mounting tech-debt, reliance on individual developers, and poor documentation. This can make the roll-out of new functionality challenging, with resources allocated to maintenance rather than innovation.

The RA Platform eliminates these obstacles by giving you complete control over the design and implementation of workflow and functionality. With our platform, the power to innovate is in your hands.
