One platform. Every asset class. Unified infrastructure.
Multi-asset trading refers to the ability to trade multiple asset classes — equities, futures, options, forex, CFDs, crypto, and bonds — from a single platform and a single account. For brokers, multi-asset trading infrastructure means a unified back-end that handles all asset classes through one order management system, one risk engine, and one set of APIs.
This is distinct from the approach where a broker runs separate platforms for different asset classes — one system for forex, another for equities, a third for futures. That architecture creates operational complexity, data fragmentation, and a disjointed client experience.
Equities and ETFs: Exchange-traded stocks and funds with real-time market data, corporate actions processing, and settlement support. Accessed through connectivity to exchanges and prime brokers like Interactive Brokers.
Listed futures: Futures contracts on indices, commodities, currencies, and interest rates. Traded on exchanges like CME, ICE, and Eurex via CQG or similar connectivity partners.
Options: Exchange-traded options on equities, indices, and futures with full chain support, multi-leg strategies, and Greeks calculation.
Forex: Spot FX across major, minor, and exotic currency pairs. Liquidity sourced from banks, ECNs, and aggregators like PrimeXM.
CFDs: Contracts for difference on indices, commodities, individual stocks, and crypto. CFDs allow brokers to offer exposure to markets without direct exchange connectivity.
Crypto: Cryptocurrency trading — either as CFDs or spot crypto through integrated liquidity providers.
Bonds: Fixed income instruments including government and corporate bonds.
The key advantage of multi-asset infrastructure is unification. A single back-end means one risk engine that calculates margin across all positions, one account structure that clients manage in one place, and one set of APIs that power all front-ends and integrations.
For brokers, this translates to lower technology costs (one platform instead of many), simpler operations (one Back-Office, one reporting system), and a better client experience (one login, one portfolio view, one account statement).
TraderEvolution's back-end architecture is built from the ground up as a multi-asset system. All asset classes share the same order management engine, the same risk management system, and the same routing rules framework.
