B2BROKER has recently released a massive update to B2TRADER, expanding its capabilities beyond CRYPTO SPOT to include Forex and CFDs. The B2TRADER platform has become a game-changer in trading solutions for brokers, offering unmatched flexibility, scalability, and advanced functionality.

Vladimir Moshkov, Product Manager at B2TRADER, shared unique perspectives on the product, addressing everything from the platform’s development challenges to its adaptability for emerging markets and institutional clients.

There are various solutions available for brokers in the market, each addressing specific challenges. What particular problem were you aiming to solve with B2TRADER?

When developing B2TRADER, we identified a significant gap in the market: most trading platforms offered brokers similar core functionalities with only minor UI differences. However, these platforms often lacked the flexibility and customisation needed to accommodate diverse brokerage models and asset classes. Our goal was to address these limitations by creating a highly adaptable platform that enables brokers to seamlessly integrate and manage multiple asset classes within a single account.

B2TRADER allows brokers to facilitate both SPOT and CFD transactions on the same account, a feature not commonly found in traditional platforms. This integration simplifies operations and enhances efficiency.

Furthermore, we designed B2TRADER with customisation at its core, making it suitable for a wide range of brokerage models—whether a classic Forex broker, a crypto broker, an exchange dealing with exotic assets, or a hybrid of these. Brokers can configure the platform to align with their unique business needs.

Another key differentiator is B2TRADER’s support for using any asset as collateral, giving brokers greater flexibility in managing risk and capital. Additionally, we prioritised ease of integration, ensuring an out-of-the-box connectivity setup that simplifies linking with liquidity providers and essential services. This minimises technical delays, allowing brokers to launch operations quickly and efficiently.

Building B2TRADER from the ground up presented several technical challenges, particularly in ensuring speed, reliability, and scalability. Since every action on the platform has financial implications, fault tolerance and data integrity were paramount. The platform needed to handle extreme loads while guaranteeing data preservation, even in rare failure scenarios with probabilities as low as one in a billion.

One of the most complex challenges was maintaining data integrity and fault recovery under heavy concurrent activity. B2TRADER operates at an immense scale—supporting 3,000 instruments, 10 price changes per second, and 100,000 accounts with 100 assets each, resulting in up to 300 billion account-related actions per second during peak times. To prevent data loss or corruption, we separated the trading service from the history server, creating a highly distributed architecture. We implemented a unique execution model with multiple levels of metadata, ensuring full traceability and real-time auditing of transactions.

Achieving high availability, ultra-fast execution, and fault tolerance required a multi-layered approach, with continuous performance optimisation at every level. The challenge of handling such a vast transaction volume while maintaining speed and reliability was immense—but solving it was our most rewarding achievement in building B2TRADER.

How do you think the brokerage services market will develop, and how does your product adapt to existing challenges?

The brokerage services market is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by several key factors, most notably the emergence of a new generation of traders—Zoomers—who are shaping how financial markets are accessed and interacted with.

This new wave of traders is highly mobile-centric, preferring to trade directly from their smartphones. Our research indicates that over 70% of trading volumes are now conducted through mobile devices, highlighting a clear trend toward mobile-first experiences.

In response, we’ve ensured that B2TRADER is fully optimised for mobile trading, offering a robust mobile application for both iOS and Android.

The app was developed with an advanced user experience in mind, considering the best practices for mobile design and ensuring that users can execute transactions, monitor their portfolios, and analyse market data seamlessly from their phones, anywhere, at any time.

However, while mobile trading is on the rise, there is still a significant portion of the trading community that prefers the more traditional desktop environment, especially professional traders who require detailed analytics and advanced charting tools.

We recognise this need for flexibility, which is why B2TRADER offers a highly customisable desktop interface. Our platform comes with pre-configured dashboards and a flexible UI, allowing traders to tailor workspaces to their personal preferences.

Whether you’re a novice trader or an experienced professional, you can design a unique trading environment with over 15 available widgets, dozens of analytical indicators, and features like real-time notifications and detailed transaction history.

For brokers, this level of flexibility extends even further—if they have the technical expertise, they can customise the platform’s dashboards for their clients, offering a tailored experience that enhances client satisfaction and loyalty.

As the market continues to evolve, brokers will need to adapt quickly to these changing demands. B2TRADER is built to help them do just that!

Brokerage services are provided worldwide, including in emerging markets. Are there any solutions that would allow brokers from these markets to launch their products without problems?

B2TRADER is specifically designed to empower brokers in emerging markets by offering a comprehensive multi-asset and multi-market solution that allows them to launch and scale their businesses with minimal hassle.

Our platform supports the use of any asset, whether fiat currency or even cryptocurrency, as collateral for margin trading, providing greater security and liquidity for margin trades.

This is crucial when broker companies are willing to create a business and attract local traders by using some local currency as collateral.

On the multi-market side, B2TRADER facilitates establishing trading operations with virtually any financial instrument, from traditional assets like Forex and commodities to more innovative products, such as cryptocurrencies or local market-specific instruments.

Brokers can even create custom instruments using local currencies as quote assets, ensuring they can tailor offerings to their region’s specific needs. This level of customisation enables brokers to provide a wide range of trading opportunities, including unique combinations of major and minor assets and creating entirely new categories and asset groups to suit their client base.

The functionality described above is implemented using a smart tree of cross-rates that is automatically rebuilt based on available instruments, market conditions, and platform administrator actions. The shortest path for calculation is used while switching to backup paths occurs instantly and unnoticeably.

The platform’s architecture is designed to support any broker, anywhere, and can be deployed in any AWS region, ensuring global reach and scalability. Additionally, we recommend hosting servers near liquidity provider servers to minimise latency, which is crucial for high-frequency and real-time trading environments.

This powerful combination of flexibility, customisation, and global scalability ensures that brokers in emerging markets can launch their products efficiently and without the barriers that typically exist in the financial services industry.
