Nexus is a high-frequency trading dashboard designed for institutional investors. It aggregates market data from multiple exchanges, providing real-time analytics, risk assessment models, and automated execution capabilities in a unified interface.
Institutional traders were losing milliseconds switching between different data providers and execution platforms. The lack of a unified view led to missed opportunities and increased operational risk during high-volatility periods.
We built a single-page application (SPA) using React giving us component-level rendering control for maximum performance. D3.js handles complex charting requirements, while WebSockets ensure data flows into the dashboard with near-zero latency.
Trade execution speed improved by 400ms on average. The unified view allowed traders to manage 3x more capital per head, and the risk management module prevented an estimated $2M in potential losses during beta testing.
