Specializing in leveraging big data and machine learning technologies, Tradefora’s proprietary systems analyze tick-by-tick market data from over 100 brokers, spanning multiple instruments including FX, precious metals, energy, stock index CFDs, and margin crypto products.
One of Tradefora‘s key offerings includes a suite of tools tailored to assist brokers in aligning with best execution regulatory requirements while also improving their financial performance. Solutions like DataGuard, FeedGuard, and TradeGuard are extensively used among institutional sales representatives, dealing desks, and regulatory bodies to bolster operational efficiency and ensure compliance with industry standards.
