In an era defined by its fast pace and the necessity for real-time actions, Nachas has pioneered an unmatched mobile trading experience. Our platform has been meticulously designed to combine the robustness of a desktop system with the agility of a mobile interface. Each feature has been optimised for touch screens, ensuring that traders can effortlessly navigate markets and execute trades with the same precision and speed they would on a traditional workstation.
But the true magic lies in our synchronised multi-device functionality. Imagine sending an order from your desktop at the office, and as you transition to a meeting across town, seamlessly picking up right where you left off on your mobile or tablet. This real-time synchronisation ensures that you're always connected to the pulse of the market, no matter where you are or which device you're using. With Nachas, the world is your trading floor.
As far as we’re concerned, we’re compatible with everyone. Our communications protocol is the industry standard, open-source FIX protocol, so there is no reason why we wouldn’t be able to receive and send FIX messages to any other PMS/OMS set up. In most cases, it is the incumbents who are unwilling to open up to us - but if they are, please put us in touch and we will be more than happy to work with them to integrate into your existing system.
Yes, in order to trade without using our app or user interface, you must be able to compose FIX messages that are compliant with your broker’s specifications. This may be the case if for example you are a quant/systematic trading fund with orders generated from software. If trades are instructed by a human, we strongly encourage you to use our app or user interface to compose orders.
Pre-trade compliance functionality is not currently native to our offering. However, we are able to integrate into any external risk management tool for pre-trade compliance checks to be conducted and approval returned for trade release for execution. Alternatively, we are also able to provide a staging interface for manual pre-trade checks and release.
Yes, while orders are be default sent for immediate execution upon submission, we are able to set the platform up for order staging, for orders to be released manually by a trader at the appropriate time.
We currently have a user interface that supports equities (cash and swap) and spot FX. Futures and options UI are under development, however we are able to provide order transmission for all types of FIX messages as long as a connection has been certified and tested with your execution broker, and your account has been enabled for electronic execution.
We currently only provide live pricing data for US stocks via IEX. Unfortunately, live pricing data from exchanges is a highly lucrative business that they ferociously defend, and the surveillance obligations of a price redistribution license across all the markets where our clients are involved in represent too large of an operational burden for us. Please speak with us if you’d like to explore pricing feed solutions.
We currently support the transmission of electronic instructions for all forms of execution, including manual (care) orders, DMA and Algo/program trading instructions. Ultimately, as long as a specification is provided for each type of handling instruction by the broker, we are able to provide connectivity for transmitting orders and receiving execution fill reports.
Yes, we can support broker set ups ranging from simple single-FIX instance set ups to brokers that use single gateways mapped to multiple regions and/or sub-regions, and are able to customise FIX message specifications by sub-region or any other custom category, ensuring that no matter how complex the broker set up may be, we are able to adapt to their specifications and deliver instructions accurately and precisely.
We do not natively supply algorithms for execution. However, we are able to map to the full algorithm suite of any execution broker of your choice. Please contact us if the broker of your choice isn’t yet connected to us, and we’d be more than happy to get a connection set up and certified with them.
We’re glad you asked. The short answer is “yes”, it can be as simple as a market DMA order or even a manual care order. But speaking from experience, while the move from trading high-touch with a trader on the phone or on chat to filling in your own trade ticket can seem daunting at first, once you get used to it, the freedom and flexibility of being able to control your own trades at the touch of a finger is like nothing else. No longer are you limited to a salestrader’s working hours, or left to stare as prices move in favour of the trade you wanted to make but which a trader hasn’t picked up yet for whatever reason. Chances are the trader you give the order to on the phone keys it into an algo anyway.
Security is of utmost importance to us especially with regards to trade execution, as the consequences of a rogue trade can be disastrous. There are three lines of defence when it comes to security. Firstly, all logins to our trading front end requires 2FA, over and above a user ID and password and biometric login on mobile. Secondly, our connections are encrypted with a private key shared only with the executing broker on set up, ensuring that messages being sent and received are not visible other than to the counterparties involved. Finally, the broker systems serve as the third line of defence, where accounts need to be pre-authorised for trading electronically, serving as a final line of defence against unauthorised access.
