“ We have created one platform that performs all these functions, eliminating the need to switch between different providers,” he continues. The company’ s unique selling proposition is clear in Paul’ s mind:“ Our USP is a platform for both traders and investors, offering multi-asset access, delivered seamlessly to their phone or desktop with rapid execution speeds and market leading spreads.”
Cloud transformation with a hybrid approach As with many fintech companies, Tradu is navigating the complex journey to hybrid computing, but with the additional challenge of maintaining the low-latency performance critical for trading applications.
“ We’ re currently focused on modernising our technology, which presents fascinating challenges for a low-latency trading business,” Paul explains.
Tradu is taking a pragmatic approach to its infrastructure decisions, considering both cloud and on-premises options based on performance requirements.
“ We’ re working closely with our partners to create a CFD and FX proprietary trading system that leverages the best aspects of both cloud and on-premises services,” he says.
