Trading Platforms Core Features
A signup process should include KYC and bank account verification without compromising the user experience. As part of AML (Anti-Money Laundering), these procedures enable the market to remain transparent and regulated.
Onboarding implies that users go through another KYC process on the broker side to open an account and connect it to your system to trade assets. In this regard, user experiences vary as some brokers allow account opening via APIs while others require KYC verification. Depending on your requirements, we can implement the most suitable onboarding solution.
Comprehensive and understandable charts (bar, line, and point-and-figure charts; market profiles and candlesticks) based on selected indicators with the use of technical analysis tools, help your users to make data-driven investment decisions.
Allows users to test and optimize strategies using historical market data before risking money on a real trade.
Enable users to quickly capture information, analyze trading profitability (e.g., profits and losses, return rate, various profitability indicators, cash flow statement), and adjust investment decisions.
This feature is indispensable for day traders and high-frequency traders, as it provides up-to-the-second prices for the assets they trade.
The fine-tuned asset alert allows users to be notified within seconds when a specific target price for one of their assets or exchange-traded funds rises or falls.
We can integrate your solution with news websites or brokerage firms to keep your users constantly updated with the latest financial news.
Detailed information about users’ trading histories (e.g., rules set for orders, instruments, order types, number of contracts, price, and time) makes it possible to identify mistakes and adjust strategies.
To make the most of your trading solution, users should be able to manage order types (market, stop, limit, etc.); define quantity, leverage, time in force, and price; and execute stop-loss and take-profit strategies.
Linking users’ bank accounts and cards to their accounts to quickly deposit and withdraw money. We can also set up the linking of digital wallets to enable crypto transfers.
We can implement both a visual builder and a code editor so that your users can create their own strategies with different indicators and algorithms.
Simulated trades under real market conditions allow users to test their strategies and practice buying and selling without risking real money.
