Live Data Streaming for Financial Applications
The leading streaming engine for Trading Platforms, Binary Options, FX, CFD, and Spread Betting.
Financial services that require web, mobile, and desktop-based real-time data distribution need to offer a high-quality service, comparable to that of traditional solutions on the trading floor. They must provide similar features such as low latency, secure access control, reliability, and scalability, but with the lower cost point provided by Internet-based distribution.
More Than Just Websockets...
Network standards such as WebSockets are not enough, alone, to provide a complete reliable solution based on the "publish and subscribe" (pub/sub) paradogm. WebSockets simply provide a low-level transport, but all the messaging logic, the fan-out algorithms, the adaptive throttling mechanisms, and the recovery procedure are not part of the WebSocket specification.
