Overview

Reactive Trader Cloud is a real-time FX trading platform demo showcasing reactive programming principles applied across the full application stack.

Improvements have been made across the board since Reactive Trader v1. The UI is revamped with a modern Javascript framework (React), and an event sourcing approach is used by the backend services for data resiliency.

All frameworks and libraries used are entirely open source, and each component can be run on either Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.

The services are distributed and are capable of recovery from disconnections. This demonstrates a similar approach to what is put into practice in major financial institutions for trading systems.

Architecture

The backend is made up of distributed services written in .NET leveraging the cross-platform capabilities provided by DNX.

Every server component can be deployed via Docker containers. This allows the use of tools such as Kubernetes to facilitate cluster management for resiliency purposes as well as ease of deployment.

Client-side implementations are available for all major platforms, including desktop browser, OpenFin, Android, iOS, Apple Watch and WPF.

Blog posts

We have written a number of blog posts in which we dive deeper into certain aspects of Reactive Trader.

Who Are We?

Reactive Trader was written by the team at Adaptive, a consultancy that specialises in building real time trading systems. We have many years of experience in building trading systems for clients with highly demanding latency and reliability requirements. Over the years we have learnt quite a few lessons, and wanted to talk about and point to examples of how we solve technical problems related to real time delivery of messages.
