In fact, the delivery package comes with over 40 ready connections to these providers.
The software also offers market depth generation through its Level 2 feature, which provides traders with a market depth of 1000 layers and momentum statistics. This ensures traders have access to the most up-to-date and relevant market information.
Furthermore, Soft-FX TickTrader Liquidity Aggregator leverages cutting-edge technologies to enable trades routing and ensure their best execution in any given conditions. This ensures that trades are executed in the most efficient manner possible.

The Bridge is a powerful tool that enables seamless execution of transactions across multiple trading platforms, such as MT4, MT5, and TickTrader.
This component allows external liquidity providers, exchanges, or aggregators to execute transactions via FIX/HTTP/AGGR API.
The Bridge also features an integrated multi-level protection system that prevents unexpected aberrant behavior from connected LPs or trading platform servers. In case of system failure, the notification system alerts administrators through email, SMS, or messengers.
The Bridge ensures that all transactions are executed at the best available price by sending a request to liquidity providers as soon as information about transactions is received from the trading platform.
The Feeder component is responsible for receiving quotes from different sources, processing them,
and forwarding them to other system components.
This component also runs quotes through a system of configurable filters, forming a balanced depth of market.
The Feeder ensures that quotes are processed accurately and in real-time, ensuring that the TickTrader Liquidity
Aggregator provides reliable and up-to-date market data.
The Admin Eye admin console is an essential component that provides full access to Aggregator controls.
Administrators can easily set up user access roles and rights for any information and/or activity available in AdminEye, ensuring that the system is secure and easy to manage.
The console allows administrators to monitor server resources, diagnose system components, manage liquidity channels, and monitor trading activity.
The console also provides comprehensive monitoring of all trading activity and allows for reviewing trading terms and conditions.
AdminEye provides information about equity, free margin, and margin level on every clearing account opened with a connected liquidity provider to facilitate risk management.
The Filters subsystem works by processing the L2s received from external liquidity providers based on parameters set in accordance with business objectives.
The first set of filters
The first set of filters handles the raw market depth, eliminating non-market quotes and spikes, and improving the overall quality of execution. These filters also allow for shedding markups on the broker or exchange side.
The market depth iteration that is formed after this step is used for allocation and client order execution. Providers that allow some number of unsuccessful execution attempts (configurable value) can be temporarily excluded from the market depths (configurable period).
The second set of filters
The second set of filters splices together identical layers, resolves arbitrage situations (if necessary), and anonymizes liquidity providers. This step shapes the next iteration of market depth delivered to trading terminals and relayed through APIs.
The Quotes Filters subsystem enables users to generate market depth that is beneficial to them and their clients.
Filters serve several purposes, including protection against spikes and non-market quotes, improving the quality of order execution, and risk management and depth of market balancing. Examples of risk management filters include the Shift filter and Margin level filter.
Shift and Margin level filters
Bid/Ask price imbalances can result in significant long or short positions, leading to potential margin calls and stop outs. This poses a challenge for brokers who must pay unfavorable swap commissions for such instruments. TickTrader Liquidity Aggregator provides a solution with its advanced Shift and Margin Level filters, designed to mitigate these risks.
The Shift filter adjusts ask and bid prices by balancing positions on clearing accounts as necessary. By processing data for each liquidity provider, the filter calculates the total average weighted position, or AWP.
If quotes from banks exceed the maximum AWP, the filter affects the prices set by these providers, effectively balancing quotes in the feed and reducing the risk of stop outs.

Margin Level filter calculates the margin level for each liquidity provider in relation to the margin level threshold, with four possible states:
no action: the filter is idle when the margin level value exceeds the margin level threshold value or the margin level is not available;
remove bid: the filter terminates bid if the margin level value is below the margin level threshold and opened position is negative and exceeds margin zero volume by absolute value;
remove ask: the filter terminates ask if the margin level is below the margin level threshold and opened position is positive and exceeds margin zero volume by absolute value;
remove bid and ask: the filter terminates ask and bid if the margin level is below the margin level threshold and opened position is zero, or below margin zero volume by absolute value, or is not available.

At the heart of the aggregator are two core technologies: Best Execution Facility and Order Sweeping.
Best Execution Facility is a powerful tool that enables the aggregator to identify the best weighted average price in the market depth for each client. This is achieved by using:
Order Sweeping to split the client's order into smaller parts and execute it with multiple providers simultaneously. This ensures that clients receive the best possible execution quality and price.
TickTrader Liquidity Aggregator boasts a range of built-in market-making algorithms that enable the creation of customized trading symbols and systems. One such algorithm is the Synthetic Symbol Market Making algo, which allows users to create synthetic instruments based on existing ones.
The Synthetic Symbol Market Making algorithm follows a comprehensive risk management procedure, ensuring that clients can enjoy enhanced trading opportunities while remaining fully confident in their safety.
By processing the price for two instrument pairs, the algorithm can create a new synthetic symbol. Moreover, the algorithm goes beyond simple mathematical calculations, factoring in the entire associated risk management process. This means that when a client trades on a synthetic symbol, the algorithm automatically opens relevant positions on the symbols that participated in its formation.
The Synthetic Symbol Market Making feature is particularly valuable for launching trading platforms in emerging markets, where currency conversion issues may arise.

TickTrader Liquidity Aggregator's capabilities are designed to upgrade the way brokerages operate by providing them with the tools they need to increase their profitability. Our A-BOOK/B-BOOK hybrid model allows brokerage businesses to take advantage of both worlds by placing profitable traders and trades on the real market (A-Book) while placing unprofitable traders and their trades on the internal market (B-Book).
To make this possible, we have developed a trading multiplier system, which assigns a trading multiplier to each trading account on the platform. The value of this multiplier determines the percentage of the requested trading volume that goes to the external market, thereby ensuring that our clients only take on the risk that they can handle.
By combining this method with quality liquidity aggregation and thorough risk management procedures, you can get to the point where you are earning along with profitable clients and not losing money on them.
Detailed logging system that registers the entire life cycle of a client order with a time record of each stage. This allows for quick system debugging and helps save resources in resolving disputes with both customers and suppliers.
