Low Latency Trading

The Solution - Connamara High Frequency Trading Framework

Run your algorithms with the lowest latencies.

The Connamara High Frequency Trading (HFT) Framework provides the basic application infrastructure to allow developers and traders to create purpose-driven algorithmic trading systems.

The Connamara HFT Framework includes the Connamara High Frequency Trading Stack which is a single process that provides market data, exchange connectivity, status reporting and C2 (command and control). The HFT stack contains algo management facilities for orders, open positions and risk.

To allow scalability, multiple instances of the HFT Stack can be executed and distributed across multiple physical machines.

Besides the Connamara High Frequency Trading Stack, the HFT Framework bundles other Connamara Made-To-Measure products to provide the other functionality required in a High Frequency Trading Platform.

Bundled products include:

  • Connamara Messaging Middleware, providing a robust scalable messaging solution
  • Client Gateway serves as a last value cache allowing connecting applications
    to receive the current state of system objects.
  • Position server to aggregate individual algorithm trades into a higher level position
  • Trader UI which allows traders to monitor and control algorithm activity.
  • Administrator / Risk manager UI allows a risk manager or administrator to view algorithm activity and positions, stop the algorithms, set algorithm risk limits and create and maintain users and accounts.
  • A backing store that records all the algorithm orders, executions and updates
    occurring in the system
  • A reporting application that allows offline reporting of orders and executions
