A dedicated FIX aggregation and routing layer between the operator's book and external liquidity — with no third-party bridge vendor in the path.
For operators
- Revenue. Removing a per-lot bridge fee changes unit economics on every ticket, permanently.
- Risk. Venue failover, last-look filtering and depth aggregation are observable rather than assumed.
- Capital efficiency. Clean, documented volume becomes negotiating leverage for tighter spreads and rebate tiers.
For technologists
- FIX. 4.4 and 5.0 SP2 sessions with sequence recovery, heartbeat monitoring and logon-state alerting.
- Routing. Best bid/offer aggregation across venues, per-tier dynamic markup, symmetric pricing across both booking layers.
- Failover. Hot-standby session on a second site; automated re-logon with gap fill.
- APIs. REST control plane for venue configuration, markup schedules and session state; WebSocket telemetry stream.
