Trading Platform

Fast and efficient client connectivity, latency performance, scalability and robustness are critical for venues competing for liquidity.  Rapid Addition’s high-performance FIX infrastructure simplifies rapid customer onboarding while maintaining consistent latency performance and platform resilience even during volatile market conditions with extreme trading volume.

Test Environment

Trading venues need to extensively test and fully validate new functionality before having the confidence to roll upgrades into production.  Rapid Addition enables venues to build a platform that replicates the trading behaviour of different client types, thoroughly testing changes and enhancements in a virtual environment before releasing them to the market.

Performance Monitoring

Trading venues sit at the heart of the financial ecosystem so performance issues or outages can be damaging.  Rapid Addition’s advanced monitoring capability provides real-time transparency of individual or aggregate orders, client connectivity status, and overall platform performance, together with the ability to store and analyse historical data for deeper insight.

Market Surveillance

MiFID II regulation significantly increases the surveillance and compliance monitoring obligations for trading venues.  Rapid Addition’s platform presents a forensic view of real-time order flow, empowering venues to monitor orders, cancellations and transactions to help identify and respond to breaches, disorderly trading and market abuse.

Post-Trade Process Integration

Trading venues are challenged to process greater trading volumes, increase cost efficiency and ensure their infrastructure is highly resilient.  Venues can improve STP levels and end to end operational efficiency by leveraging Rapid Addition’s scalable Open API platform to enhance secure electronic message flow throughout their organisation.
