THE CHALLENGE
Your firm lives and dies by execution quality – and your ability to document it. Routing across a fragmented landscape of venues and algo providers while simultaneously managing middle- and back-office workflows, clearing relationships and an expanding compliance stack leaves little room for infrastructure that can’t perform.
THE RAPTOR SOLUTION
Route equities and options orders across all major venues, brokers and algo providers from a single integrated environment – with full order lifecycle visibility from blotter to post-trade.
Manage allocations, clearing and CTM integration without leaving the platform so middle- and back-office workflows run in lockstep with the desk.
Produce CAT, Rule 605/606 and best execution reporting automatically, and stay ready for regulatory examination with continuous monitoring for layering, spoofing and other abusive patterns running in the background.
THE CHALLENGE
You carry direct financial and regulatory responsibilities for every trade you process – at volumes that leave no room for gaps in risk controls, allocation workflows or reporting. As settlement timelines compress, the infrastructure holding it all together has to move faster without introducing new points of failure.
THE RAPTOR SOLUTION
Enforce pre-trade risk limits – including fat finger checks, capital commitment controls and short sale restrictions – across all correspondent relationships in real time, with automated order rejection before a breaching trade ever reaches the market.
Process allocations, CTM comparisons and
multi-clearing-firm SOD files from a single infrastructure, with drop-copy routing that keeps all parties in sync.
Monitor every correspondent relationship continuously for surveillance red flags – and maintain a complete audit trail aligned with FINRA examination standards.
THE CHALLENGE
Your firm manages hundreds of buy-side relationships, routes across every major asset class and operates across time zones. That requires constantly translating between incompatible message formats and monitoring connectivity infrastructure that grows more complex with every new counterparty and market.
THE RAPTOR SOLUTION
Consolidate all buy-side connectivity, internal desk routing and execution venue access into a single cross-asset FIX hub – with a 24×6 support model built for global trading hours.
Translate and normalize FIX messages across all counterparties and systems using flexible business rules via the Raptor Scripting Language (RSL) – no custom development required for each new connection.
Monitor infrastructure health and order flow across the entire network from one interface, with real-time risk controls applied consistently regardless of order origin.

THE CHALLENGE
Speed and precision are the lifeblood of your business – and every layer of the trading stack must support that. Latency in the network, rigidity in the routing logic or risk controls that can’t operate at market speed all have a direct cost to performance and, ultimately, to returns.
THE RAPTOR SOLUTION
Route orders with multi-asset across global execution venues – with custom routing logic,
pass-through and drop-copy configurations built around your firm’s strategy.
Enforce pre-trade risk limits – including inventory, margin and capital commitment checks – at pace, with automatic rejection of breaching orders before they can reach the market.
Monitor real-time positions and intraday P&L from a centralized interface so risk managers and traders always have the data they need to act fast.
THE CHALLENGE
Your business is scaling faster than the systems that underpin it. As order flow grows, your compliance obligations expand and the patchwork of FIX connections and manual reporting processes that worked at a smaller scale starts to create real operational and regulatory risk.
THE RAPTOR SOLUTION
Connect to custodians, executing brokers and clearing firms through a single managed network, with flexible API or FIX integration that works with the OMS already in place.
Route client orders intelligently across venues using smart order routing and configurable routing wheels – without rebuilding existing workflows from scratch.
Scale compliance reporting automatically as order volume grows – with CAT, best execution, drop-copy processing and multi-clearing-firm file handling handled in one place.
