Our Products
For too long, the trading world has been hampered by stale technology, indifferent solution providers and a lack of anything genuinely new.
We created Valstro to change all that. We have combined equal parts industry expertise and innovative spirit to deliver solutions steeped in the specifics of the trading business, but completely reimagined, utterly unique and undeniably modern.
The modern trading environment is fast-moving, intricate and extensively regulated. Valstro products are designed to tame that complexity, with an AI-powered, action-oriented user experience that filters out data noise and gets ever better at predicting what a user needs to see or do right now.
Fresh but Familiar
The Valstro UX was crafted by trading industry experts working alongside designers and engineers from a wide variety of industries. The result is a streamlined, action-oriented engagement that is intuitive and approachable, but also unmistakably new.
Built for Teams
Trading firms and workflows are team-based, and teams are now distributed across multiple offices and remote locations. Valstro’s ‘workflow-first’ design fosters precise collaboration and communication for teams regardless of where members are located.
AI Everywhere
Valstro components use an AI-powered engine to alert users to events that need their attention or action. The engine is workflow-aware, and continuously learns from response patterns to provide ever more useful suggestions.
Data, Downsized
Trading users need to react to an ever-growing universe of market and internal events, and old-school trading tech has responded by packing more flashing pixels onto more screens. Valstro’s workflow-aware desktop takes a calmer, quieter approach that intuitively draws the user’s focus to important market and internal events.
Reliably Risk-Averse
Trading firms take significant financial and regulatory risk every day. Valstro offers firms robust, context-aware control of user actions and data visibility, simplified integration with in-house risk systems, and plug-in compliance modules precisely tailored to specific regions and asset types.
Amped-Up Interop
The Valstro platform was designed to be the central core of a best-of-breed trading technology solution - but we know it must also interoperate with the wider world of markets, brokers and regulators, as well as with the firm’s other in-house technology. Our modular design and business-focused APIs simplify and streamline this process so that a trading business can grow and differentiate.
Technology
The Valstro Engineering team is leveraging modern coding tools, secure cloud infrastructures, and propulsive, agile-based development methodology.
Performant - Permanently
By utilizing modern container-based development in conjunction with Kubernetes-based deployment, the Valstro platform can be both performant and infinitely scalable, allowing vast numbers of transactions to be processed.
Seriously Secure
The Valstro service features a federated identity stack with fine-grained permissions & entitlement controls, with robust self-service features for admin & support users. As a result, we can integrate with existing corporate SSO infrastructure, delivering a more secure environment with lower TCO and less administrative overhead.
Rock-Solid Resiliency
By building for the cloud from the ground up, the Valstro service takes advantage of multiple regions and availability zones to provide unprecedented levels of resilience. This infrastructure resilience is backed by an event-driven, data-centric micro-services architecture that allows for rapid recovery and self-healing of critical system processes.
A Modular Mindset
Using an industry-standard messaging layer, Apache Kafka, it is a simple task to add new modules to the application stack and have them listen to and create events. This is then coupled with open APIs that facilitate easy integration with customer and partner systems.
