The trading technology sector is undergoing its most significant transformation in over a decade driven by two powerful forces converging at once.
On one side, retail investors now account for roughly 20% of U.S. equity volume and that share continues to grow. This shift demands platforms deliver unprecedented levels of access, education, speed, and real-time information to everyday market participants.
On the other side, markets are rapidly transitioning toward autonomous agents, systematic strategies, and retail algorithms executing orders through APIs with near-zero latency and zero tolerance for failure.
Brokers, prop firms, and technology providers sit directly at the intersection of these forces and have the impossible task of delivering on all of these at once. The best firms know exactly what matters to them and are strategizing their roadmap accordingly. At M7, we're watching this unfold at the broker level and have found its essential that they lean into their existing expertise when prioritizing between the two.
Modernizing the technological core is no longer a long-term initiative, it's a must, and the pace of development is moving faster than ever. Build now or get left behind.
It is a prerequisite for survival in the next generation of trading tech.
