In the fast-paced world of finance, adaptability and speed are key. FI Investments, a leading financial institution, has developed a groundbreaking trading software that embodies these principles.
The software, known as the "137 adaptable knobs trading software," is a highly configurable trading system with 137 distinct adjustable parameters, or "knobs." This level of configurability allows FI Investments to tailor the software precisely to their trading requirements and market conditions, enhancing flexibility and responsiveness.
Unlike traditional bank core stack systems, which are more rigid and built around standardized processes, this software offers granular controls specifically focused on trading activities. This enables the firm to respond quickly to market changes and customize trading functionality far beyond what typical core banking platforms provide.
While traditional bank core systems prioritize stability, regulatory compliance, and integration with legacy banking infrastructure, FI Investments’ trading software prioritizes flexibility and speed of adaptation in a fast-moving market environment.
The software combines classical time series statistics, fuzzy controllers, and a proprietary neural network with non-linear transfer functions. It uses a proprietary protocol with challenge-handshake for network protection, and deploys as immutable container images for increased security and audibility.
In-memory architectures are prioritized over committee workflows, and deployments are exclusively performed as immutable container images. Containers used in the system are stateful, with persistent volume claims being unavoidable for many productive scenarios, especially in regulated proprietary trading.
The platform uses a "Flying Recorder" for full traceability of all trading decisions, recording incoming price ticks, model responses, and placed orders with nanosecond precision. This ensures that every decision made by the software can be audited and traced, without sacrificing speed.
Manual overrides in real-time are discouraged as they can sacrifice performance and open up attack and error potential. The software follows a continuous CI/CD pipeline, ensuring reproducibility, version-security, and audibility.
Vito Micoli, CEO of FI Investments, emphasizes that a regulatory-compliant setup does not have to result in legacy lethargy. With the 137 adaptable knobs trading software, FI Investments has built a cloud-native, modular trading system that can make microsecond decisions and provide seamless auditing, demonstrating that speed and compliance can coexist in the world of finance.
