Plan the complete production path
Combine multiple liquidity sources with a defined aggregation, pricing and execution architecture. The implementation should be evaluated as part of the broker's complete production architecture, because platform, data, execution, access, back-office and monitoring dependencies affect each other.
A useful technical scope defines who owns each layer, where it runs, which external systems it depends on, what is monitored, how changes are controlled and what happens when a dependency fails.
Core components and decisions
Multiple liquidity sources
Define requirements, dependencies, ownership and measurable acceptance criteria for this layer before production deployment.
Price normalization
Define requirements, dependencies, ownership and measurable acceptance criteria for this layer before production deployment.
Routing logic
Define requirements, dependencies, ownership and measurable acceptance criteria for this layer before production deployment.
Best-price workflows
Define requirements, dependencies, ownership and measurable acceptance criteria for this layer before production deployment.
Monitoring
Define requirements, dependencies, ownership and measurable acceptance criteria for this layer before production deployment.
Failure handling
Define requirements, dependencies, ownership and measurable acceptance criteria for this layer before production deployment.
From requirements to production
The exact topology depends on business model, client geography, account and session profile, symbol universe, integrations and execution model. TSG can map these dependencies before deployment or migration.
What to validate before launch
Capacity: validate normal load, peak load, reconnect bursts and growth headroom.
Connectivity: measure the full quote and order path instead of optimizing one isolated server.
Observability: define service, network, data and execution signals with actionable alerts.
Recovery: document backups, recovery objectives, dependency order and failover procedures.
Operations: define access, change control, escalation and ownership between internal teams and external providers.
Liquidity Aggregation FAQ
What should a broker evaluate before choosing Liquidity Aggregation?
Evaluate the complete operating path: platform workload, infrastructure ownership, connectivity dependencies, monitoring, recovery objectives and the integrations that must work together in production.
How does TSG approach liquidity aggregation?
TSG treats the project as part of a connected broker technology architecture. Scope is defined from workload, regions, data, execution, operational ownership and growth requirements.
Can liquidity aggregation be integrated with existing broker systems?
Integration depends on the existing platform, CRM, API, market-data and liquidity environment. The recommended approach is to map interfaces and responsibilities before migration or production cutover.
