Case Study: a prop trading firm achieves ultra-low-latency HFT trading with Devexperts

Prop Trading Firm - Customer Case Study

The client, a prop trading firm and leading player in the Indian capital market, obtained a license from the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) and needed to build a new high-frequency trading (HFT) platform. They required ultra-low latency software to execute sensitive sub-microsecond arbitrage strategies across equities and derivatives. To meet this challenge, they engaged the technology vendor Devexperts to develop the solution.

Devexperts implemented a sophisticated, customized HFT platform featuring an NSE collocation and Devexperts’ OMS module. The solution was written in low-latency languages like C and Erlang and was optimized through techniques such as CPU affinity binding and customizing the TCP stack. The resulting platform's speed was comparable to the client's main competitors. Following the successful launch, the client rose to become one of the top three Indian stock trading companies.
