Technical Requirements for Trading Liquidity Platforms

Getting started with our trading liquidity solutions requires specific technical infrastructure. Here's what you actually need to connect and what we've learned works best after years of implementations across Taiwan's financial sector.

01

API Connectivity

REST and WebSocket protocols with TLS 1.3 encryption. Your development environment should support JSON parsing and handle concurrent connections efficiently.

02

Server Infrastructure

Minimum 4-core CPU, 16GB RAM for basic operations. Production environments typically need dedicated servers with redundancy configurations and backup systems.

03

Network Requirements

Stable connection with <100ms latency to our data centers. Most clients benefit from dedicated lines or VPN tunnels for consistent performance during high-volume periods.

04

Security Protocols

IP whitelisting, API key management, and two-factor authentication implementation. Your systems need capability for secure credential storage and rotation.

Implementation Roadmap

1

Initial Assessment & Setup

We review your existing infrastructure and configure sandbox access. Most clients spend about two weeks here testing connectivity and getting familiar with our documentation. You'll receive staging credentials and can start making test calls immediately.

2

Development & Integration

Your development team builds the integration while we provide technical support. This phase typically runs 3-4 weeks. We've found that most technical questions come up during the first week, so we schedule daily check-ins initially.

3

Testing & Validation

Comprehensive testing across different market conditions and load scenarios. We run through about 50 different test cases covering everything from basic connectivity to edge cases we've encountered with other clients.

4

Production Deployment

Gradual rollout with monitoring and support. We typically start with limited volume and scale up over a week. Our team stays available during your first month of production operations to address any issues quickly.

Our integration went live in September 2024 after about five weeks of development. The technical documentation was straightforward, though we did run into some issues with our legacy systems that required custom middleware.

18-Month Progress

System has been stable through multiple market events. We've since expanded to additional trading pairs and increased our throughput capacity twice. The support team's response time averages under two hours for technical questions.

We tested three different liquidity providers before choosing apinetcodestrea in early 2024. The API design made sense to our developers and the sandbox environment let us validate everything before committing.

14-Month Followup

Handling approximately 12,000 transactions daily now with room to scale further. Latency stays consistent even during peak trading hours. We've referred two other firms in Taiwan who were looking for similar technical capabilities.
