How onboarding works

From your list of counterparties to live, monitored order flow.

1
Choose your destinations
Pick the brokers, banks, exchanges and networks you need. If one is not on our list, tell us and we will scope the route.
2
We provision the sessions
ZagTrader sets up each connection in the data center that suits your markets, with primary and backup sessions.
3
Certify before you go live
Test order types, fills and drop copy end to end in a certification environment, without risking a live trade.
4
Trade, monitored around the clock
Go live with every session watched and every message logged. Adding the next destination is configuration, not code.
