The nxAccess Trading Engine is a powerful solution that integrates FPGA technology with software flexibility, designed for high-frequency trading applications. It features a hybrid architecture that combines an FPGA data path for latency-critical operations with a software path for complex decision-making processes. This approach ensures ultra-low latency trading while preserving the flexibility needed for sophisticated algorithmic strategies. The engine allows users to preload, trigger, update, and send orders directly from hardware, achieving performance levels previously thought unattainable with traditional software solutions. It's particularly well-suited for market making, arbitrage, and high-performance trading, offering the ability to react swiftly to market changes using an embedded FPGA-based feedhandler and a pattern matcher for raw market data processing.
