[LP1][LP2][LP3]Architecture for broker-to-provider protocol connectivity.
Execution rules and provider-routing logic.
Mapping between platform instruments and provider symbols.
Session state, connectivity status and operational logs.
Failover-aware topology for external connections.
Designed to sit between trading platforms and liquidity infrastructure.
Understand the component, its dependencies and the checks to agree before production.
A bridge sits between the trading platform and external execution or liquidity systems. Its scope should distinguish price delivery, order routing, execution reports and risk controls. Platform compatibility, authorised APIs and counterparty connectivity must be established before a bridge is selected or configured.
Agree instrument names, contract specifications, supported order types, session behaviour and execution mappings. Routing decisions should have a clear owner and documented rules for normal operation, rejection and disconnection. A connection diagram alone cannot establish how orders will behave during an interrupted session or an unavailable provider.
Acceptance should cover a quote update, an order request, the related execution report and the resulting platform state. Include rejects, cancellations where supported, reconnects and reconciliation. Identify the authoritative record at each stage and the operational logs needed to investigate an execution discrepancy.
Bridge access, provider connections, instrument mappings, hosting and integration testing determine the quotation. External session approvals and provider fees should be listed separately.
Request a written scope with deliverables, exclusions, acceptance checks, one-time costs and recurring charges. Deployment dates and service levels are confirmed for the agreed project.
