Wintrado – A High-Performance Multi-Asset Trading Platform

Wintrado Technologie AG, a forward-thinking Swiss company, has been driving progress in trading technology for many years

Wintrado is a modern trading platform designed to empower brokers worldwide with an advanced, multi-asset trading experience. Engineered for ultra-low latency, high availability, and global scalability, Wintrado supports trading across forex, crypto, indices, and commodities—meeting the demands of today’s fast-paced and competitive financial markets.

As traders expect instantaneous execution, responsive interfaces, and uninterrupted access, the underlying trading technology must meet extremely strict reliability and performance standards. Wintrado turned to Kickstage to build this next-generation platform from the ground up.

The Challenge

Trading platforms operate under some of the most demanding conditions in software engineering:

• Execution must be instant—milliseconds matter
• Price streams must never lag, freeze, or lose messages
• The system must remain available 24/5 without exception
• Brokers need customization, automation, and regulatory compliance tools
• Infrastructure must scale rapidly during periods of market volatility

Many brokers today still rely on legacy systems that:

• Struggle during volume spikes
• Lack modern APIs and integrations
• Offer limited multi-tenant customization options
• Do not provide visually pleasing interfaces

To stay competitive globally, Wintrado needed a trading platform that could deliver speed, reliability, and flexibility at scale.

Kickstage’s Solution for Wintrado

Wintrado partnered with Kickstage to design and implement a complete real-time trading ecosystem. Kickstage was responsible for architecting the platform’s core services, user-facing applications, and operational infrastructure with a focus on performance, zero downtime, and global scalability.

Kickstage delivered:

• A high-performance execution backend
• A real-time pricing engine
• Full administrative tools for brokers
• A multi-tenant, white-label-ready system
