Atlas Trader is a commodity trading application developed for Zoi Capital which routes orders to Quantitative Brokers in order to utilize their algorithms to obtain better prices for the trade executions. Previously the only way to route orders to Quantitative Brokers required a Bloomberg Terminal which can be prohibitively expensive for small firms.
Atlas Trader is a desktop application built on JavaFX and can be used on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms, and currently supports 18 different commodity futures markets.
Communication between the client and Quantitative Brokers is implemented over an encrypted connection and utilizes the Financial Information eXchange (FIX) protocol, specifically using the QuickFix/J library in order to create and submit the orders to Quantitative Brokers.
