The Challenge

Client onboarding in electronic trading is more complex than ever.

Multiple factors slow down order flow enablement, adding time and cost overhead to the process:

Custom tags, inconsistent symbology and convoluted allocation workflows

Rigid or outdated Rules of Engagement (ROE)

API clients with bespoke logic vs. routing networks with strict requirements

Multiple FIX versions (4.0, 4.2, 4.4, 5.0) in use across clients and counterparties

Manual configuration cycles and slow certification processes

For sell-side firms, every onboarding delay is a lost opportunity and order flow.

Set Up New Connections in Minutes

Use our intuitive Web UI to onboard clients and counterparties with just a few clicks — no coding, overnight change requests, or delays.

Configure Without Code

Define client-specific properties, apply custom FIX dictionaries and manage ROEs using point-and-click controls — not XML edits or backend scripts.

Adapt to Any FIX Version or other Protocols

Simultaneously translate, validate and normalise messages across all versions of FIX, proprietary APIs and financial messaging protocols in real-time.

Drill Down to Message-Level Details

Instantly inspect order flow, session status, routing logic, FIX tags and even full FIX logs with live monitoring and full audit trails.

Enforce ROEs Without the Risk

Easily create and maintain Rules of Engagement, applying version-specific logic while allowing flexible exception handling.

Custom Tags, Normalised

Manage, map, or validate custom/misused FIX tags without touching backend logic through the Web UI.

Reuse What Works

Apply saved configurations and dictionaries across sessions and counterparties to dramatically reduce time-to-onboard.

Seamlessly Inject Static Data

Enrich data with frictionless integration to any external reference data repository, database or mapping table.

Global Symbology Support

Normalise identifiers (ISINs, RICs, SEDOLs, etc.) across trading platforms and geographies, ensuring accurate flow across 
 OMS/EMS layers.

Support your clients with real-time validation, separate test environments and zero-code updates – all without destabilising production.
