Order processing

Created to provide the most advanced trading experience for hundreds of thousands of traders simultaneously, cTrader Server boasts an impressive capacity for order processing and management.

Internalising

To reduce operating costs associated with order execution, you can maintain an internal order book either exclusively or in combination with STP. This forms a hybrid model and vastly improves risk management.

Straight-through processing

Designed from the ground up for STP execution, cTrader Server’s order routing engine has been optimised for fast and stable communication with multiple counterparties to ensure the lowest rejection rates possible.

Security

cTrader Server leads the way in reliability and security standards for retail-focused platforms. With high-availability servers and robust underlying technologies, you can have peace of mind by delegating platform security responsibilities to Spotware.

Environment segregation

Each solution is hosted in an independent environment to protect against any possible disruption from other brokers. This is made possible through the industry’s leading VMware vSphere and Zenoss, which segregate and monitor each environment.

Sensitive data protection

Your customers’ personal data are not required to operate trading accounts. Only margin-related information is necessary. Anything that is disclosed is subject to strict data protection practices.

Robust services

cTrader Server offers unsurpassed operational reliability, including failover infrastructure, redundant network connectivity, established disaster-recovery methods and reverse-engineering-resistant server components.

Proxy cloud protection

All traffic coming to and from cTrader Server is routed through a proxy cloud to protect against unauthorised, malicious connections and DoS and DDoS attacks. Additionally, SSL encryption is in place.
