Real-Time Trading Dashboard for an Online Brokerage

Challenges

A rapidly growing online brokerage in Australia needed to upgrade their internal and customer-facing trading dashboards. Their existing system suffered from:

Slow data refresh rates during high-volume market sessions.
Limited visibility for retail traders tracking multiple instruments.
Difficulty scaling the backend to support surging user traffic.

They needed a fast, stable, real-time solution that could grow with their customer base.

Customer Background

The client provides trading services for stocks, ETFs, and CFDs to retail and professional traders. Their competitive edge relies on speed, transparency, and user experience — but legacy architecture held them back as their user base expanded rapidly.

Designed a React + Redux interface optimized for rapid data updates and multi-chart views.

Rebuilt backend modules with Golang for high-throughput, low-latency performance.

Added risk-control alerts and throttling mechanisms to maintain stability during market spikes.
