The Challenge

A proprietary trading firm had traders monitoring positions across multiple accounts and asset classes using separate broker portals. During volatile markets, they missed opportunities because their view of positions was fragmented and delayed by 30+ seconds. They needed a unified, real-time view.

Our Approach

1

Built an aggregated portfolio view combining data from multiple broker APIs into a single dashboard

2

Implemented WebSocket connections for real-time price and position updates with sub-second latency

3

Created customizable dashboards with drag-and-drop widgets for different trading styles

4

Added alerting system for price movements, P&L thresholds, and risk limit breaches

Position updates now arrive in under 500ms, down from 30+ seconds

Traders identify opportunities significantly faster with the unified view

Risk limit breaches detected in real-time instead of end-of-day

Platform handles high-throughput position updates without degradation

We went from refreshing five browser tabs to having everything in one screen with live updates. The alerting system alone has saved us from several risk limit breaches we would have caught too late.
