Plxtra

Architecture Principles

Plxtra has been architected around the following principles:

  • Modular: Components have clearly defined roles and APIs, each focused on its area of expertise.
  • Customisable: APIs and plugins enable extensibility and integration at both server and client.
  • Available: Designed for both scalability and redundancy, from single instances up to large clusters, to support any amount of load and reliability requirements.
  • Realtime: Create markets, issue symbols, add accounts and users, trade, and settle, all in realtime. Batch processing is also supported.
  • Full stack retail-focused: From registry to phone and desktop, Plxtra provides a full suite of trading components needed for retail trading.
  • Broker support: Providing trading infrastructure to brokers to run their operations and meet their market participation obligations.
  • Not high-frequency: It is intended for retail systems (supported by brokers), optimised for throughput with a large number of customers.
  • CRM via integration: Allows each customer to use business management systems that suit their own operations.
