Reactive Trader®

Reactive Trader® is a real-time FX trading platform designed to showcase reactive programming principles across the full application stack.

Originally written in WPF and .Net, and now in React, React-RxJS, Node.js and running on Hydra, we continue to evolve the platform to use the latest technologies.

Please see our Showcase page for a full list of the latest features.
