Financial technology developer Devexperts has launched a new futures trading platform targeting US brokers, amid growing demand for derivatives trading solutions in the region.
The platform, launched yesterday, enables brokers to offer futures and options on futures trading through a turnkey solution that can be deployed immediately or customised to specific requirements.
The move comes as derivatives trading, particularly futures, continues to see strong interest in the US market where regulatory conditions make these instruments especially attractive to traders and investors.
Speaking about the launch, Devexperts CEO Ben Hurley said: "A number of international market factors mean we are seeing ongoing interest in futures trading worldwide. This is particularly the case in the US, however, where the regulatory environment can make derivatives, such as futures, particularly appealing."
The platform integrates with major US exchanges including CME and ICE through Devexperts' market data service, dxFeed, providing real-time Level 1 and Level 2 market data quotes. It also offers connectivity to futures commission merchants and established executing destinations such as CQG and StoneX.
Key features include a depth-of-market (DOM) ladder trading interface with one-click order placement, automated SPAN margin requirement calculations, and real-time order management capabilities. The system also incorporates pre-trade validation and post-trade monitoring functions, allowing brokers to manage risk through automated portfolio liquidation and customisable intraday margin requirements.
Hurley added: "We try to anticipate our clients', and the wider markets', needs. We have been developing this platform for some time and are now able to provide our customers with the software they need to meet the demand they are seeing from within the market. Timing-wise, this is a good time to launch our futures trading platform and we look forward to working with both current and prospective clients on their deployment or upgrading of their futures trading capabilities."
The white-label platform is accessible via web browsers and mobile applications for both iOS and Android devices. Each implementation comes with dedicated account management support and offers scalability for future expansion into additional asset classes.
Devexperts, which employs 800 developers globally, has been developing financial software solutions for over two decades, serving clients ranging from startups to major financial institutions. The company specialises in custom development services for capital markets, including trading platforms, matching engines, and exchange solutions.
