The trading system
brokers run their desk on.
TikaBon is an institutional multi-asset trading platform — one order and execution stack spanning US and Asian equities, real-time risk, and back-office control. Built for brokers, dealer desks, and their clients.
Live across NYSE · NASDAQ · HKEX · SGX · KRX · TSE — with multi-currency settlement.
Everything a broker needs to trade,
from order entry to the general ledger.
A single, coherent stack — not a bundle of bolted-together tools. Every layer is designed to work together.
Multi-asset execution
Market, limit, stop, stop-limit and trailing-stop orders — with bracket, OCO and OTO order classes routed to the venue natively across every supported market.
Real-time market data
A single-source live feed drives quotes, marks and self-match pricing — so the price you see, the price you fill, and the price you value are always the same number.
Pre-trade risk & margin
Per-instrument initial and maintenance margin, buying-power checks and a pre-trade risk gate on every order. No exposure increase clears without passing the gate.
Atomic money core
A single service is the sole atomic writer of money — a signed average-cost ledger with realized P&L, multi-currency financing and a base-currency equity rollup to the cent.
Self-healing reconciliation
Every lane is reconciled continuously against the broker of record. Missed fills self-heal and drift raises an alert — so the book always matches reality.
Dealer desk & back office
Amend, cancel and act on behalf of clients with a full compliance trail — every action records who did it, when, and on which channel. Onboarding and admin included.
Trade across continents from one book.
US markets and four major Asian exchanges, each with native currency and session handling — including lunch breaks and holiday calendars.
Engineered by trading-domain and distributed-systems experts.
TikaBon isn't a generic template dressed up for finance. It's built by a team that understands market microstructure, settlement and margin as deeply as it understands the systems that have to keep them correct under load. Every design decision reflects real desk experience.
-
Domain-correct by design. Signed average-cost accounting, flip-through-zero positions, multi-currency financing and per-stock margin — modelled the way a real desk works.
-
One atomic writer of money. Money is a single source of truth on a Postgres ledger with 24×8 decimal precision — no double-spends, no drift.
-
Event-driven microservices. Independent services communicate over a validated event bus, so order flow, risk, connectivity and the back office scale and evolve on their own.
-
Tested to the fill. Unit-tested logic and full end-to-end simulations of the order lifecycle — because in trading, "probably right" isn't right.
Client money deserves institutional-grade protection.
Authentication and account safety are first-class parts of the platform, not an afterthought.
Enforced two-factor auth
TOTP-based 2FA with forced enrollment, recovery codes and anti-replay protection. Machine callers use scoped secret keys — never a shared password.
Isolated client ownership
Every account and order is ownership-gated end to end. Internal identifiers never leave the system — clients are addressed only by checksummed public numbers.
Session & recovery control
Rotating sessions revoke on credential change, with self-service and staff-assisted password and 2FA recovery — all backed by a tamper-evident audit log.
