Visual Markets builds low-latency trading software for institutional clients and professional investors — tools shaped first by our own trading desk, under our own capital, then offered to yours.
We trade it before we license it.
Figures drawn directly from the Trading Arena terminal and the connectors shipping in 2.40.2, not marketing estimates.
Trading Arena runs automated execution across FIX venues, ITCH books and crypto exchanges from a single workstation — with the backtester, the scheduler and the risk controls in the same binary as the live session. Session recording, remote monitoring with critical-event alerts and team-level risk management come with it.
Tick-level capture by default — a bad fill is a file you can replay, not an argument.
Execution quality is measured and stored, so you can show a liquidity provider where the slippage sits.
The core service runs headless on Windows or Linux; the control app attaches from anywhere, with alerts and a chat inside the app.
Queue whole families of strategy configurations against your own recorded tick history, then read the parameter space as a surface instead of picking the single best row off a leaderboard.
Live sessions write tick history, so test data is your own flow.
Recorded sessions into the formats your research stack reads.
Many configurations queued at once and reported together.
A broad plateau told apart from a narrow spike.
The chosen configuration live on real prices, no orders sent.
The same strategy object runs live — no re-implementation.
Honest caveats. Backtests execute against recorded book data, not a mid-price fantasy, and paper mode runs before capital does. Results are not a forecast — we will say so in writing.
A diagnostic and charting tool for reviewing trades, spotting patterns and correcting strategy.
Bring a strategy and a month of ticks: we run it as a basket, show you the optimisation surface, and say where it is fitted to noise.
The client area of the Visual Markets ecosystem: collaboration and planning, chats, calendars, tasks, trading accounts and ledgers in a single private workspace at desk.visual.markets.
By invitation: our administrators create the accounts, and every change is recorded. No advertising, analytics or tracking. More about Visual Markets Desk
One-to-one and project chats, with pictures, files and @mentions.
Events with your team and outside guests; connect Outlook or Google Calendar and invite from your own.
Active, backlog and done for every project, with due dates, notes and attachments.
Venues, trading accounts and their access, kept encrypted — shown only on request, and every view logged.
One per trading account, append-only: deposits, withdrawals, P&L and monthly reports per currency.
Projects for a team or just for you, rights per project and person, and a log of every change.
Bridges connect the places where you trade to Trading Arena through one protocol: quotes and positions in, orders out, every report back. Each runs on your own computer or server, under your Visual Markets subscription.
For venues that live in a browser. Each web trading platform opens in a window of its own, signed in by you, with the screen set up as you trade it; the bridge reads its quotes, account and positions, and places your strategies’ orders through the platform’s own controls.
Windows 10 or later, with the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime and the WebView2 runtime. Licensed through Visual Markets Desk; downloads from there.
One venue account and one symbol each, so a bridge always knows what it serves.
You sign in to the venue yourself; the bridge never types or keeps venue passwords. Sessions are sealed on your machine and survive restarts.
Prices, account and positions as the page shows them; one order at a time per instance, with its report back to the strategy.
An order with no answer from the page is refused after 30 seconds with a warning, so a strategy never waits blind.
Browser-based trading platforms, through their own pages. Available.
MetaTrader 4 and 5 terminals, run as a fleet on your server. Coming.
The bridge protocol on its own, for venues and systems of your own. Coming.
Visual Markets began as a trading office — a small team of professional traders, mathematicians and developers with more than twenty years of combined experience, building tools to trade their own capital before offering them to anyone else. What started as internal infrastructure is now a full software development company.
Most trading software is written by people who have never been short into an illiquid close. We inverted that: the terminal exists because our own traders needed it, the connectors because our own flow had to reach those venues, and the markouts because we wanted the numbers on our side.
Not that we are the fastest — that we carry the same risk you do, and the product shows it.
We don’t build for a market we don’t trade in ourselves.
