The company’s new crypto wallet offering will add to and complement its existing crypto offering, which includes its crypto-adaptable trading platform, DXtrade, and its crypto-adaptable exchange solution, DXmatch. It is increasingly clear that crypto is here to stay, with this being reflected in regulations worldwide and amplified by the early onset of tokenization. DXwallet can be built to seamlessly integrate into firms’ existing software or can come as part of Devexperts’ comprehensive crypto solution.

Both if they want to embed it into their existing platform or adopt it as part of Devexperts’ full suite. I believe that what sets DXwallet apart is its attention to what really matters in practice: simple yet powerful portfolio management, seamless asset transfers, and strong accessibility across systems. Devexperts has once again demonstrated that it listens closely to its clients and builds to meet their specific needs. It’s encouraging to see how Devexperts, like GCEX, work to enhance the digital asset offering at a time when demand for institutional quality tools in this space continues rising. — Lars Holst, CEO and Founder of GCEX Group
Non-Custodial Crypto Wallet for Large Investment Company July 22, 2024 About the Client Founded in 2017, this client combines their experience from physical floor trading with retail options trading in the US to offer a distinct market perspective. The client operates: A live network for active retail options traders, serving as a vital resource for traders at all levels. A new brokerage for active traders, equipped with advanced technology and a supportive environment to maximize profits and rewards. The client was actively exploring opportunities in the cryptocurrency sector, to expand their user base and cater to their existing user’s increasingly diversified interests. Taking on this project gave us an opportunity to tap into different areas of our expertise, providing a fresh and multi-faceted perspective backed by experience. The client wanted to take a bold direction, but also wanted to make sure the development phase was extremely thorough, factoring in security, performance, regulation and the ability to pivot with future priorities. — Olesia Elizarova, Project Manager, Devexperts Business Challenge Like any future-focused business, the client wanted to proactively adapt their offering to stay ahead of their competitors. Noticing the number of crypto users growing each year, the client had also observed a high demand for access to decentralized finance. The client realized the opportunity to strengthen user retention, by providing a crypto wallet that operates within the same ecosystem as their trading platform for traditional assets. The firm had always seen crypto as a market with great upside potential. The move would create additional benefits if it decided to launch a web3 product in the future — they would start from a strong foundation with the wallet in terms of both technology and marketing. Solution Devexperts selected a self-custody HD-wallet with additional functionality as the target solution. Self-custody means users manage their private keys independently from a marketplace. This ensures they have full control over their funds without relying on a third party. Wallet creation flow A HD-wallet, or Hierarchical Deterministic wallet, allows for the generation of a tree of keys from a single seed phrase. This enhances security and convenience by enabling users to have as many accounts as they need, without sharing their keys with anyone. The team followed Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs) 32, 39, 43, and 44 to create an industry-standard solution. Token details with overall information Initially the client decided to launch a Chrome extension as an MVP. To stay competitive, Devexperts focused on developing essential wallet functionalities: sending, receiving, swapping, and buying digital assets. Sending crypto flow Swapping crypto flow We chose to start with the most popular blockchains: Bitcoin: supporting the most advanced SegWit and Taproot address standards. Ethereum: supporting all ERC-20 tokens and NFTs (ERC-1155 and ERC-721 standards). Covering all the MVP scenarios required extensive integration and the development of custom logic. Integrations with various providers were implemented, including NOWNodes, Alchemy, CoinMarketCap, PayPal, and Transak. Buy with PayPal The MVP was completed and released on the Chrome Web Store. Simultaneously, work began on the mobile cross-platform application, using Flutter as a target technology. Both the Chrome-based app and mobile versions support the collection of user activity statistics while ensuring their privacy is maintained. Detailed token info To align with US regulations the wallet was integrated with Elliptic, an anti-money laundering (AML) service provider. In the post-MVP stage, the Devexperts team started to extend the functionality, supporting more layer-2 blockchains such as Polygon and Base, as well as layer-1 solutions like Solana. The wallet now includes features like unlimited accounts, gasless swaps, push notifications, and native support for the most popular NFT formats: JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG, and MP4 files. A special integration was also implemented for the client, allowing direct connection to their trading platform for traditional assets (equities and derivatives). This enables users to connect their trading account to the wallet and seamlessly move funds between the platform and the wallet without extra commissions. Additionally, a display of advanced token details on an interactive chart, extensive trading information, and a Portfolio Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) calculator was introduced. Dollar Cost Averaging calculator Built-in support for WalletConnect is one of the most demanded features for a crypto wallet, as it enables interaction with a wide range of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and decentralized apps (dApps). The current solution leverages WalletConnect to allow users to connect to all DeFi and dApps on Ethereum, Polygon, Base, and Solana. Working with our client, we dedicated a lot of time to improve the product based on user feedback, creating something we’re truly proud of. This has become one of the best crypto products we’ve ever developed—and we plan to continue building the most advanced trading wallet we can, supporting all major blockchains, that is resilient and capable of supporting firms through the volatility of crypto market trends. — Nikita Adarchenko, Project Manager, Devexperts Results Devexperts built an MVP from scratch in a few months, and after a few adjustments dictated by marketing needs, the wallet was launched into operation. The user base has been growing steadily since then, and now the wallet has hundreds of active users who make thousands of transactions daily. The solution supports simultaneous usage by a few thousand users, ensuring it meets the needs of the current user base and can accommodate future growth. Additionally, the architectural foundation of the wallet allows new functionality to be added swiftly and with high quality. This solution possesses great development potential. Unlike traditional finance, software development in crypto remains highly uncertain. We’ve developed an approach to manage that uncertainty, enabling our client to benefit from participating in this new market. Our team’s thorough attention to the solution’s technical and user experience details paid off: we’ve helped our client expand their business and meet their users’ demand for a new product. — Aleksei Babukh, Head of Division, Devexperts Working with Devexperts has been a game-changer for us. Their expertise in crypto technology and commitment to delivering a top-notch product have been evident from day one. The crypto wallet they developed not only meets our high standards but has also significantly enhanced our offering, allowing us to stay ahead in a competitive market. This has been proven with the results,and we look forward to continuing our partnership. — CEO, the Client
Scaling a Transparency-Driven Funded Trader Firm June 14, 2024 About the Client This Germany-based funded trader client is relatively new to the industry but has already made an impact. They have focused on transparency and community in their approach, with clear fee structures and a dedicated Discord channel. The firm also wants to prioritize efficiency and accessibility in every aspect of the trading experience they provide, from fast payouts to offering a wide range of instruments including forex, commodities, indices, crypto, and more. Business Challenge Before engaging with Devexperts the client was using a platform that served its purpose in helping them launch, but as they grew their user base, the platform was not able to handle volumes during peak activity. The instability posed a significant risk of user dissatisfaction and potential churn, jeopardizing revenue streams and market positioning. To mitigate these risks and encourage user engagement, the client looked for a more stable platform with a user-friendly interface tailored to the different needs of both novice and experienced traders. In addition, the client wanted to improve cost efficiency by using the new platform to offer more attractive conditions for funded trading, thus increasing market competitiveness and user retention. The primary business challenge was to find a comprehensive trading solution that ensured scalability, stability, ease of use, and cost efficiency while maintaining competitiveness in the dynamic trading landscape. Solution Devexperts proposed DXtrade as the optimal solution for the client’s challenges. DXtrade is a comprehensive trading platform tailored to the diverse needs of modern traders. Scalability: Highly scalable architecture capable of accommodating the client’s growing number of traders without sacrificing performance or stability. Stability: DXtrade is resilient even during high trading activity, minimizing the risk of downtime and user dissatisfaction. User-friendly interface: Modern and customizable user interface that is suitable for traders of all experience levels, increasing user engagement and satisfaction. Cost-effectiveness: DXtrade allows firms to scale at the pace they need within a competitively priced model, allowing them to provide attractive terms for funded trading while maintaining profitability. Mobile apps: DXtrade comes with its own high-performance iOS and Android app complete with the firm’s logo and branding. Competitive advantage: DXtrade’s state-of-the-art features and functionalities, will help the client stand out in the market, attract new users, and boost retention. In addition, Devexperts takes care of the integration with liquidity providers and market data sources, saving the client time and resources otherwise spent on integrating these services. This ensures a seamless experience for the client and allows them to focus on their core business. Results The client experienced remarkable results upon installing DXtrade, with the solution being delivered within an impressive two-week timeframe: Locked-in impressive stability: The client now had peace of mind that their platform could handle rapid growth and large volumes if it needed to, ensuring uninterrupted trading activity even during peak periods. Improved user experience: The intuitive interface of DXtrade increased user satisfaction, catering to traders of all experience levels. Access to a reliable mobile app version also boosted engagement with end-users able to trade on-the-go, anywhere, anytime. Cost savings: By leaning on Devexpert’s expertise, the firm saved both time and resources and secured a quality product designed for longevity and capable of supporting them through all future phases of their journey. We were able to execute this project fairly easily, as we have a lot of experience in helping younger firms who are experiencing growth to integrate DXtrade. They normally make this move so they can provide reliable services to their end-users, and not risk poor performance just as they are starting to expand. The mobile app was a big win for this client, as independence was important to them. They wanted to be able to control their operations down to every detail, ensuring they were not reliant on any other firm’s approach. — Olga Von Bahr, Account Manager, Devexperts Because we were quite new to the market, and were at an important point in our growth, we needed a vendor that was going to be really straight with us—we needed a quality solution with quick delivery, that was going to help us live up to the trading experience we had indicated we were going to provide to our traders. Devexperts came up with a solution and rolled it out in a matter of weeks. So far the results have been positive and we feel we are in good hands. — Product Manager, the Client
Boosting Trade Capacities for a Major Prop Trading Firm June 13, 2024 About the Client This funded trading firm stands out for its unique trading experiences. They offer themed challenges to traders across the globe, attracting over 100,000 live accounts. The client is known for its user-oriented culture and community. They have a vibrant community on Discord, nurturing strong engagement. They intend to protect this reputation with consistent service delivery and platform performance. Business Challenge Due to an unexpected blanket cancellation of trading platform software licenses triggered by a catalyst beyond their control, the firm suddenly needed to find a new vendor that could help them get their services back up and running as quickly as possible. Simultaneously, they also needed to address existing stability concerns that they had been experiencing. Their volume of users was expanding rapidly (great), but the previous infrastructure hadn’t been able to accommodate peak user activity. There had been instances of latency and sub-par performance. The client wanted to address this without jeopardizing the positive CSI they had established, which was fuelling their growth. They needed a solution that would immediately resolve the performance issues, and also be suitable for their continued expansion plans. The client wanted a vendor that could demonstrate they had already successfully deployed similar solutions for other prominent global CFD and cryptocurrency brokers. Devexperts ticked all the boxes: They would get them back up and running within a matter of days, address all their performance concerns, and they could demonstrate a large number of successful outcomes in almost identical scenarios. Solution To address the challenge of accommodating high user volume, Devexperts proposed the deployment of multiple instances of the DXtrade trading platform. DXtrade Web Terminal By dividing the user base into two separate instances, the client would be able to mitigate the risk of performance degradation during peak hours of user activity. This approach addressed the client’s two major challenges: It ensured that the platform could maintain optimal performance levels even when experiencing high levels of user traffic; preventing slowdowns, failures, or outages that could disrupt trading activities. By distributing the user load across multiple instances, the solution would support scalability and easily accommodate future growth and expansion plans without sacrificing productivity. The solution design also included a third important aspect: Optimizing integrations. Devexperts paid special consideration to the integration of DXtrade with the client’s partner CRM. This was essential for enhancing efficient communication and data exchange to improve overall user experience and client relationships. Results Two instances of DXtrade were successfully implemented, along with a smooth integration of their CRM partner. In a matter of weeks, the dual instances of DXtrade strengthened platform performance, successfully providing a new level of resilience for peak periods and future increases of volumes. Additionally, the seamless integration with their CRM highlighted DXtrade’s adaptability, saving time and optimizing communication and data exchange. Delivering two instances of DXtrade for scalability not only provided an attractive timeline for implementation, but it made sense. The client will be well-equipped to handle future increases in user volumes. — Olga, Account Manager, Devexperts Devexperts provided us with a solution that surpassed our expectations. We have peace of mind that the platform now runs smoothly, even during periods of high user activity. Their expertise in handling the transition and integrations allowed us to focus on the trading experience for our users. — CEO, the Client
Scalable and Reliable Trading Technology for a Startup Funded Trader Firm June 12, 2024 About the Client The client is a funded trader firm based in the UAE, with young and ambitious entrepreneurs from different regions at its helm. Despite being a new startup with a level of industry experience still in its infancy, they managed to create an attractive foundation that was garnering traction. The firm was at a critical pivot point where it needed the right technology to help it maintain this momentum and solidify its reputation, without breaking the bank.

DXtrade Web Terminal DXtrade SaaS can be easily scaled at the tempo the client chooses.

Under the hood, the architecture (belonging to a single instance of DXtrade) can easily handle the load of thousands of online accounts simultaneously, ensuring seamless performance even during peak trading periods. DXtrade Web Terminal Another major drawcard that sealed the deal for the client was Devexperts’ approach to mobile applications. They provide brokers and props with their own app (not shared with other brokers), reducing the risk of being swept into any collateral damage. With their tech-heavy branding, this tied in very nicely, with the ability to give their traders the option to trade on-the-go using iOS or Android.

By closely collaborating with their team, we’ve worked to understand their specific needs ensuring it aligns with their objectives. — Olga Von Bahr, Account Manager, Devexperts

Trading Platform for a Funded Trader Firm in MENA Region May 9, 2024 About the Client With a global network of traders, this client is a formidable presence in the funded trading industry. The Middle Eastern firm operates internationally from Dubai and has no plans of slowing down or plateauing. Their focus remains on retention and evolving where needed to continue rapid expansion of their user base. Business Challenge The client was ready to scale with ambitious growth plans, but this required a trading platform capable of supporting this trajectory. They also outlined additional objectives: User analytics indicated their clients liked to trade on the go. They needed native mobile applications for Android and iOS. Connectivity with liquidity providers, through FXCubic aggregator. The client was seeking a vendor that could provide an all-encompassing solution. Solution Platform capable of supporting growth DXtrade is a white-label platform with a proven ability to grow with a business of a broker or a funded trader firm. It has allowed both start-ups and established firms to significantly expand their user base, without compromising performance. Mobile trading DXtrade includes a duo of independent, native mobile apps. The exclusive app would mean the client is not subject to the risks associated with a pool application app (where a vendor’s app is shared by multiple brokers). This would give the client a level of control, flexibility, and security optimal for growth, along with meeting the expectations of their clients —trading on the go, with a responsive app. Connectivity with liquidity providers Although FXCubic integration (a priority liquidity aggregator for the client) was not originally included in the basic DXtrade SaaS package, Devexperts typically includes such integrations at no additional cost. This benefits this client and everybody else running their business on DXtrade. Personalized delivery and maintenance As part of our DXtrade SaaS offering, the client would benefit from 24/7 technical support, with immediate access to a team of experts, on hand to provide guidance whenever needed. Results DXtrade’s solution was implemented within just two weeks. FXCubic was successfully integrated; the integration project team faced no impediments, thanks to the standard FXCubic API and the availability of numerous ready-made connectors, adapters, and tools for connecting liquidity providers and aggregators. The accelerated process both sped up the time to market, and reduced costs and resources, helping the client remain aligned with budget targets. The smooth transition to the new platform was enthusiastically received by traders, with the native mobile app allowing them to access the platform anytime, anywhere. The project was a success, with each of the client’s objectives met, and their expectations around quality, flexibility and execution of delivery exceeded. This was an interesting project to work on — although it seemed like a standard, straightforward platform transition to DXtrade, it’s not unusual that we encounter unexpected obstacles within the client’s existing infrastructure. In this case, it was facing the loaded backlog, but we overcame this in a professional manner, and managed to deliver on our promise. — Olga Von Bahr, Account Manager, Devexperts Devexperts were flexible, especially around our liquidity integrations, and the communication was always clear. They are responsive and willing to adjust the project and timelines to make sure the execution is right. — Project Manager, the Client
Web Trading App for a Crypto Brokerage Operating in the US and Canada April 16, 2024 About the Client The client is a broker-dealer that provides a platform for trading digital assets and operates in the US and Canada. The broker’s primary focus is catering to the needs of crypto investors in the North American market. As a company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the client is committed to regulatory compliance and adheres to industry standards. Business Challenge The client had developed a crypto platform with a significant user presence on their iOS and Android mobile apps. The platform was intended for margin trading and was almost finished. It even had a proprietary price discovery algorithm that sourced quotes from multiple crypto exchanges to make their pricing for each instrument. At the time, the client’s challenge was the lack of a user-friendly web trading interface. The client sought to integrate a web terminal into their existing trading platform. The web app needed to: Enhance platform accessibility Improve user experience across mobile and web platforms. The client considered Devexperts because of its experience in the cryptocurrency sector. After reviewing Devexperts’ portfolio of projects, the client deemed it aligned with the technical requirements required to enhance their trading platform. Solution Devexperts proposed a hybrid solution in which some products would be used as a foundation, white-labeled, and further customized to fit the client’s requirements and the existing infrastructure and platform. More specifically, the proposal consisted of: Implementing the ready-to-go web terminal of the DXtrade Crypto trading platform. It would substantially reduce the time to launch compared to creating a terminal from scratch. With DXtrade Crypto, the client would immediately receive a user-friendly and time-tested web UI designed explicitly for crypto trading. Work for hire. Although DXtrade UI was ready to use, the client had unique needs that required UI customization to align the look and feel with the brokerage’s brand identity and user expectations. The DXtrade Crypto web app needed to be integrated with the client’s backend. As such projects often result in scope creep, there was a buffer for adding new features and fixing any operational inefficiencies or changes in the compliance requirements. Ongoing support. Devexperts also offered ongoing support and maintenance to address any issues and updates that may arise post-launch. Results The client required a secure, stable, and customized web interface that integrated smoothly with their existing backend algorithms, emphasizing timely delivery. To achieve this, Devexperts and the client’s teams worked to adapt the DXtrade Crypto trading UI, focusing on compatibility with the client’s brand identity and user needs. This process involved iterative design revisions based on mutual feedback, aiming to accurately match the client’s specifications. Integrating the customized user interface with the client’s backend was critical to the project. This was accomplished through concerted software integration efforts, facilitated by the expertise of both Devexperts and the client’s technical teams, ensuring a cohesive system operation. External audits were a prerequisite for the platform going live—the system successfully met technical, performance, and compliance requirements. The project was completed within the deadline, with Devexperts adhering to the schedule. The collaboration was marked by a structured project management approach and an efficient development process, which allowed for the timely deployment of the web interface without sacrificing quality. I’m incredibly proud of the collaborative effort our team at Devexperts has put forth to deliver a tailored solution for our client. From customization to integration and timely deployment, we’ve demonstrated our commitment to excellence every step of the way. This project exemplifies our dedication to meeting and exceeding client expectations, and I’m confident it will set a new standard for success in our partnership moving forward. — Dmitry Zaitsev, Head of Account Management Devexperts We’ve been pleased with how our collaboration with Devexperts turned out. Their detailed approach to software integration and adaptability to our specific needs significantly impacted our project’s success. Seeing our brand and user preferences accurately reflected in the UI enhanced our platform’s functionality. Looking forward to furthering our partnership with Devexperts and building on this success. — VP, Product Management, the Client
DXcharts for Mobile Platform: Implementing Native Charting for iOS and Android Apps March 18, 2024 Business Challenge According to a recent study, mobile traffic is growing yearly. This includes increased usage from professional and amateur traders who access the market 24/7, thanks to the new flexibility that mobile versions of desktop trading platforms provide. DXcharts received a large volume of requests that indicated, despite these trends in end-user behavior, there was yet to be a native charting library offering for iOS and Android mobile applications. The only solutions available on the market were, in fact, web-based solutions that just mimic native apps and aren’t ready to facilitate the full capabilities of modern mobile devices. Given the significant number of users transitioning to mobile applications, there is a clear need for charting capabilities. The DXcharts team saw this as an opportunity and decided to use their accumulated industry experience to build a solution that would align with the quality expectations and standards of the capital markets industry. Solution The Devexperts team was already experienced in building native mobile solutions with charts and various technical analysis tools. There were multiple ways to provide a solution: Take our legacy libraries and update them to align with modern quality standards. However, this approach presented many technical challenges, which could lead to an outdated solution that does not meet modern users’ needs. Start from scratch. This path didn’t fit our lean approach and objective to quickly deliver a quality solution to the market. Use the core of our advanced web charts and logic to build a mobile solution. The third option seemed the most promising. We evaluated the effectiveness of this strategy and concluded the approach offered numerous advantages: Accelerated time to market. By building on the core of web charting with mobile-optimized code (for better UX), there was no need to start from scratch. Reduced cost. The chosen option did not require a large team and could be implemented quickly. Met all objectives. A native application tailored to mobile traders’ needs filled the identified gap in the market. Results Mobile and desktop traders’ user scenarios are different, so our product team revised the existing features of DXcharts. Instead of providing all features available for the web and desktop, we focused on the interactive chart canvas. Meanwhile, we built and designed the entire UX from scratch in native mobile code. DXcharts Mobile We opted for the most efficient approach to charting, utilizing the latest technologies available. One of the key advantages lies in the fact that the charts are not rendered natively, ensuring consistent behavior across different devices. This significantly enhances the application’s adaptability, making it more flexible and expediting the release process. The most exhilarating aspect of this task was establishing a close interaction between our unique native features and the chart, creating a seamless integration of the mobile world with data visualization. Furthermore, we emphasized crafting a flexible structure, facilitating seamless integration and adaptation of our product to diverse needs. — Nikita, Software Developer Android platform, Devexperts Indicator configuration in DXcharts Mobile DXcharts mobile application is essentially an embedded browser rendering the core chart. A significant advantage of this approach was that if new features are added to the core web chart in the future, they will automatically be accessible in the mobile application with minimal effort from the mobile developers. One of the challenging developmental tasks is acquiring, processing, and displaying a substantial volume of data in a chart. We pay special attention to ensuring data flows in and is displayed without delay. We’ve chosen the most optimal approach for chart creation, employing modern technologies. One of the key advantages is that chart rendering doesn’t occur at the native function level. By using a ready-made solution for chart rendering, we expedite the development process and achieve uniformity across all platforms. An intriguing development aspect for me is creating interactive user engagement with the chart, allowing users to draw on it and visualize it in their preferred manner or style. The close integration of native functions with web components brings numerous advantages and flexibility. — Anastasia, Software Developer iOS platform, Devexperts Our team for this project consisted of only three developers, who accomplished the task in a short time, developing two native mobile libraries for applications around the charting core. This efficient delivery demonstrated the resources needed for future mobile app integrations. DXcharts mobile libraries We chose to use the existing dxcharts-light web library by embedding it in the web view instead of drawing the charts within our application. Essentially, we created a wrapper for the existing chart display functionality, saving significant resources. The web team focused on optimizing the data visualization while we focused on the user interface. The most fascinating part was designing the architecture for the future product. Since our project was an embedded library for other applications, we couldn’t fully use the standard methods for developing architectures for mobile applications. We had to consider how the end developer would integrate our library, how they could configure it, and how they would provide us with their data: instruments, candles, etc. — Dmitrii, Software Developer Android platform, Devexperts In the shortest possible time frame, the DXcharts product line obtained full-fledged charts for native mobile applications that provide users with complete freedom of action and a full range of functionality comparable to the web version of the product. Devexperts is currently integrating the new mobile charts with our existing DXtrade applications. As a result, DXcharts customers will soon have advanced, multifunctional, and powerful mobile charts with a wealth of features available in the latest versions of web charts, outperforming the competition in the market. The team did a great job—we studied the perspectives, chose the optimal one, and quickly delivered one of the most advanced mobile charts. Now we can maintain it at a reasonable cost, and the compatibility between Devexperts’ products is higher than ever. — Andrey Shuvlenov, Devexperts DXcharts for Mobile is designed to help brokers provide a unique service to their end-users.

Charting Library Upgrade in Trading Platform for Fintech Firm September 1, 2023 About the Client The client is a fintech firm that offers a proprietary turnkey trading platform to brokerages and investment companies working with FX, CFDs, and cryptocurrencies. This platform is one of the most demanded white-label solutions in the financial industry, so the client strives to equip it with the most advanced features to stay ahead of the competition. Business Challenge The client’s business experienced continuous growth: its trading platform was in demand among prop trading firms and FX, CFD, and crypto brokers. As a result, hundreds of thousands of traders worldwide use white labels of the client’s trading platform. However, through market analysis and user feedback, the client identified a charting component in their trading platform as a weakness. Users complained that there was no possibility to trade from the charts, change the chart timeframe, create layouts, save them for further use, and much more. The client couldn’t afford to lose their market leadership, so they decided to replace the charting component with a new one. The nature of the client’s business involved the following integration challenges: In the FX trading industry, prices are marked up and differ depending on user groups. So, the client’s platform had an intermediary stratum liaised between the end-user software and the market data feed. It was necessary to migrate users’ preferences and settings so that after the migration, users would see the exact drawings and indicators they had in their old charts. It was also crucial for the client to have an opportunity to buy out the charting source code to keep 100% of the trading platform components in-house and avoid vendor lock-in. Solution As mentioned, the client conducted a market analysis and gathered requirements for the new charting library. According to their investigation, they started searching for a vendor with relevant expertise and successful cases. The client also evaluated vendors based on functionality, compatibility, support, and costs. First, Devexperts’ charting library DXcharts made it to the shortlist of candidates for integration. Then, the client’s stakeholders, CTO and CPO, decided that DXcharts perfectly aligns with their goals and technology strategy. DXcharts is a charting package for historical and real-time market data visualization across multiple asset classes. It comes with over 100 technical indicators (studies) and a wide selection of drawings and chart types for in-depth technical analysis. The trade-from-the-chart functionality, multiple charts layout, price scale configuration, custom aggregation (timeframe) presets, and other handy features accommodate different styles of trading. Devexperts helped the client translate business requirements into technical specifications and made sure that the deployed configuration of DXcharts aligned with the client’s needs. As DXcharts was to be integrated into an existing platform, it was crucial to create a system design that covered how it would integrate with the existing trading system, including market data feeds. After creating the system design, Devexperts went on to implement DXcharts into the client’s trading platform. The implementation was followed by rigorous testing to ensure functionality, performance, and compatibility. The deployment also included integration with the client’s market data feeds. “Devexperts spent years developing the DXcharts library, which became a powerful instrument for trading and investment applications. DXcharts provides all the tools required for daily trading and comprehensive analysis. In terms of implementation, DXcharts is built for easy integration with third-party trading terminals and investment portals.” — Andrey Shuvlenov, VP of Product Management, Devexperts Usually, it takes a few days to integrate DXcharts into a trading app, but in this case, it took longer because of a migration process: the team wanted to smoothly transfer users by keeping their preferences intact, including such data as open charts, symbols, positioning, zoom, drawings, studies, etc. After rolling out the new charting, Devexperts conducted training for the client. DXcharts also comes with a knowledge base, FAQs, and educational materials powered by ChatGPT, so end users can take advantage of them right inside the platform without the need to open additional apps and leave the trading environment. “The comfort of the users was important for the migration. Our end users usually spend several hours a day working with the trading platform, using charts a significant portion of the time. In the past, when we occasionally lost users’ UI preferences and the UI reverted to its default state, we faced a surge of negative feedback. Given the importance of charting, we chose to treat their preferences as invaluable and ensured a smooth transition to a third-party charting library, although it required considerable engineering effort.” — Alex, Lead Frontend Developer, the Client Additionally, the solution incorporated a special bundle that acted as an intermediary between charts, the trading terminal, and the market data provider. It was essential to address the need to display different quotes according to user groups due to varying markup settings. Results The client replaced a charting solution in their proprietary trading platform to adhere to the best industry practices and stay ahead of the curve. The newly introduced features are: Trading-from-the-chart functionality More drawings, studies, and advanced charting tools A widget to overview earnings, dividends, and splits An instrument comparison widget An ability to create custom studies with Devexperts’ proprietary programming language dxScript that doesn’t require any coding experience. DXcharts has solved charting usability issues of the client’s trading platform, improved overall user experience, and stopped customer attrition. The client was able to implement missing charting features that kept them from further business growth. The adaptation of end users of the client’s trading platform went smoothly due to a user-friendly and intuitive UI of DXcharts. To escape possible vendor lock-in, the client requested to buy out DXcharts source code. Devexperts started its transition to the client’s development team. “As we strive to broaden our user base and fortify our platform’s standing in the competitive landscape, it’s been crucial to find a charting partner that brings innovation and quality to the table. DXcharts has sophistication and adaptability that undoubtedly enhance the possibilities we can offer our clientele. I’d like to emphasize Devexperts’ support during the integration, which was complicated by our legacy issues, as well as additional requirements to preserve users’ data during the migration.” — Jonathan, Product Director, the client.
