What We Build
End-to-End Trading Infrastructure

Engineered for firms where latency is revenue.

Ultra-Low-Latency Execution
Sub-microsecond order routing across 40+ global venues. Custom hardware with kernel-bypass networking and FPGA-accelerated matching logic.
Co-Location & Proximity
Bare-metal in every major exchange data center — NY5, LD4, TY3, SG1. Direct cross-connects with sub-100-nanosecond jitter.
Smart Order Routing
Adaptive multi-venue routing optimizing for price improvement, fill rate, and information leakage minimization across 200+ liquidity venues.
Market Data Infrastructure
Normalized tick-level feeds from 60+ exchanges. Sub-microsecond delivery. 18+ years of L3 order book data for backtesting and research.
Risk & Compliance Engine
Pre-trade risk checks in under 500 nanoseconds. SOC 2 Type II certified. MiFID II, Reg NMS, and MAR compliance built in.
Strategy Framework
SDK for C++, Rust, and Python with deterministic replay. Full simulation environment mirrors production latency profiles.
About
Infrastructure, Not Promises

Tickrate was founded on a single observation: the firms that win in modern markets aren't the ones with the best ideas — they're the ones whose infrastructure doesn't get in the way.

We are engineers, network architects, and systems designers who spent a decade inside the world's top proprietary trading firms. We built the infrastructure those firms run on. Now we build it for you.

We don't trade. We don't compete with our clients. We build the fastest, most reliable execution infrastructure available — and we stake our reputation on every microsecond.

"We evaluated six co-location providers before choosing Tickrate. The difference was immediately measurable — our median execution latency dropped 40% on day one."

Technology
Built from Silicon Up

We don't configure off-the-shelf. We engineer from the hardware layer.

Network Layer
Custom network stacks using kernel-bypass (DPDK/RDMA) and FPGA-based packet processing. Dedicated fiber routes and microwave links between major financial centers. Deterministic latency with single-digit nanosecond jitter.
Compute Layer
Purpose-built servers with tuned BIOS, isolated CPU cores, and huge-page memory allocation. Every machine profiled and benchmarked before deployment. Bare-metal — no hypervisors, no virtualization overhead.
Software Layer
Lock-free, zero-allocation trading engine in C++ and Rust. Designed for predictable worst-case latency. Full deterministic replay ensures every production event can be reconstructed tick-by-tick.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
01What does Tickrate provide?+
End-to-end institutional execution infrastructure: co-located bare-metal servers, FPGA-accelerated gateways, smart order routing, normalized market data feeds, real-time risk management, and automated compliance tools.
02What latency can I expect?+
Median order-to-ack latency is under 800 nanoseconds for co-located clients. End-to-end from signal to fill averages 2.5μs depending on venue and asset class.
03What asset classes do you support?+
Equities, futures, options, FX, and digital assets across 47 global venues including NYSE, NASDAQ, CME, LSE, Eurex, JPX, SGX, HKEX, and major crypto exchanges.
04Do you compete with your clients?+
No. We are a pure infrastructure provider. We don't trade, don't monetize order flow, and don't operate proprietary strategies. Your data and activity are entirely yours.
05How fast is onboarding?+
Average 18 business days from signed agreement to first production order. We've completed onboarding in as few as 8 business days for standard FIX clients.
06How secure is the platform?+
SOC 2 Type II certified. AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. Physically and logically isolated client environments. Annual security audits.
07What about uptime?+
99.997% measured availability over 36 months. Fully redundant infrastructure with automated failover. 24/7 NOC with 15-minute incident response SLA.
08What regulatory frameworks do you support?+
MiFID II (RTS 25/RTS 6), Reg NMS, MAR, and Dodd-Frank. Pre-configured compliance modules with regulator-ready report generation for ESMA, SEC, and FCA.
