Trading Execution engine (FPGA)

Our Trading Execution Engine comprises components that gives ultra-low latency are MD Filter Engine, MD Matcher Engine, Order Message Trigger Engine, FPGA Networking Engine and Trade Risk Check Engine. All the engines can be configured by our customers based on their business requirements.

MD Filter Engine processes the raw data and assigns intelligently to hardware MD Matcher Engine (FPGA) & software logics.

MD Matcher Engine generates the Order Messages for Trade execution based on matching happened in MD Matcher Engine.

Prepared Order Message Trigger Engine generates the Order Trigger for Trade execution based on matching happened in MD Matcher Engine.

FPGA Networking Engine performs checks of outgoing orders are according to our customer’s strategy and business logic. Our solution is error free and all the important parameters are checked before sending the orders to the Exchange for execution.

Trade Risk Check Engine performs checks of outgoing orders are according to our customer’s strategy and business logic. Our solution is error free and all the important parameters are checked before sending the orders to the Exchange for execution.

The Trading Execution Engine (FPGA) processes the following.


  • Trading Session based on market data level variables such as Sequence Numbers, Timestamps, Token and so on.
  • Customers can enable/disable any combinations or all the matchers using a single API.
  • Fast Order Trigger Engine library can send preloaded orders from software APIs.
  • The logics in FPGA can be triggered from software.
  • All race-around conditions are handled automatically and customers need not to worry about it!
  • Notifications for customer applications.
