Infrastructure built for financial markets
Cloud-native from day one. Sub-millisecond execution. 99.99% uptime on Enterprise. Zero maintenance windows — ever.
Architecture
Every layer engineered for trading
We didn't adapt a generic SaaS platform for trading. NaxTrader was built ground-up for the latency, reliability, and audit requirements of regulated financial markets.
Global CDN & Edge
Cloudflare-backed CDN delivers the web terminal from 300+ edge locations worldwide. Traders in Jakarta, Dubai, and London all get sub-50ms load times. DDoS protection included at every layer.
- 300+ Cloudflare edge nodes
- Anycast DNS routing
- DDoS mitigation (L3/L4/L7)
- TLS 1.3 enforced everywhere
Multi-Region Cloud
The core platform runs on AWS with primary and standby regions. Critical components — pricing engine, risk engine, order routing — are deployed in active-active configuration across availability zones.
- AWS primary + standby regions
- Active-active availability zones
- Automated failover < 30 seconds
- No single point of failure
Real-Time Pricing Engine
Our proprietary pricing aggregator consolidates feeds from connected LPs, applies spread models, and publishes WebSocket streams to clients in under 2ms. Tick-by-tick persistence for full audit trails.
- Sub-2ms quote distribution
- WebSocket streaming to all clients
- Configurable spread & markup engine
- Tick data persistence & replay
Risk Engine
Server-side risk controls execute in microseconds — before orders reach the market. Margin checks, exposure limits, drawdown enforcement, and stop-out logic all run in-process with the matching engine.
- Pre-trade margin validation
- Real-time exposure monitoring
- Automated stop-out triggers
- Drawdown rule enforcement (Prop)
Analytics Pipeline
All trading events flow into a time-series analytics pipeline. P&L calculations, performance metrics, and trader analytics are computed in real-time and served via the terminal's analytics modules.
- Event-sourced trade history
- Real-time P&L computation
- Per-trader performance metrics
- Exportable audit logs
Zero-Downtime Deployments
Platform updates are deployed with blue-green deployment strategies — no maintenance windows, no scheduled downtime. Your brokerage stays live during every update, including major version releases.
- Blue-green deployment strategy
- Canary releases for new features
- Rollback capability in < 60 seconds
- No maintenance windows
