DMA Support

Following the successful rollout of the global EMS platform, the business expanded its offering to include Direct Market Access (DMA) for clients.

Key Challenges

• High load: ~10 million trades per day
• Strict latency requirements: Sub-1ms pass-through latency
• Flexible client connectivity
• Client risk & limit controls

Implementation Approach

• Still maintained a single codebase for the platform
• Deployed horizontally scalable, separate DMA instances
• Redesigned core components to meet high-load and low-latency demands

Thanks to the platform’s initial robust architecture, these enhancements were delivered within an acceptable time-to-market window. The DMA functionality successfully launched and was well-received by clients.
