How to create a platform in 3 steps?
Brokerage platform development includes a trading terminal, back office for client management, integration with financial data and payment systems.
Step 1. Define architecture and key modules
A minimal functional platform includes: - Trading terminal — real-time charts, orders, trade history - Back office — client management, deposits, withdrawals, bonuses - Data integration — Thomson Reuters or Bloomberg for quotes - Payment gateways — deposit and withdrawal (PayPal, Skrill, cryptocurrencies) - CRM — sales funnel, communication with traders
Development time: 8-16 weeks depending on complexity.
Step 2. Choose technology stack
For a high-load financial platform, we recommend: - Backend: Java/Spring or Node.js for transaction processing - Frontend: Angular or React for trading terminal - Database: PostgreSQL for reliable transaction storage - Mobile apps: Swift (iOS) + Kotlin (Android)
Important: the platform must handle thousands of simultaneous connections and process orders in milliseconds.
Step 3. Launch MVP and get license
After development, you need company registration in an offshore zone (BVI, Belize, Saint Vincent — from $2,000 to $10,000) and opening a corporate account.
In Russia, binary options are equated to gambling and prohibited for licensed brokers since 2019. All legal brokers operate from abroad.
