Trading Platform for a European Startup Broker

About the Client

The client is a European startup broker looking to offer US market access for their customers.

The firm’s executive team has over a century of cumulative experience in financial services, including investment management and trading.

Business Challenge

To achieve their objective, the firm needed a trading platform that supported US Stocks and ETFs inclusive of web and mobile trading, along with an Order Management System (OMS), and an Operations/Risk Management portal. A solution that met the following criteria was required:

  • Out-of-the-box: An off-the-shelf product, requiring minimal development effort to launch.
  • White-labeled: Branded with the client’s logo and color palette, and capable of seamless integration with the client’s existing infrastructure to enhance its appeal to retail traders.
  • Mobile-friendly: Native mobile applications for both iOS and Android platforms.
  • User-friendly: Cater to users of all levels, offering a user-friendly interface suitable for both beginners and advanced investors.
  • Integration with third-party providers: Ready-made integrations with market data and news providers were a prerequisite. The solution required an API kit to facilitate easy integration with third-party services.

After thorough research, the client identified DXtrade XT, developed by Devexperts, as the ideal solution.
