Foreign Currency and Stock Exchange Auctioning System
The system is intended for traders acting according to Foreign Currencies Exchange Rules of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus and particularly of Belarus currency-stock exchange JSC. The objective was to develop the program that implements the following functions: the operation in several trading modes (fixing, continuous double auction, negotiating deal and SWAPs); reporting results of trade sessions.
Actions Taken
BelHard was responsible for the following workflows of the system development:
- Management of the project
- Requirements gathering and Analysis
- Architecture framework development and the final application design
- Implementation
- Testing
- Deployment
- Documenting
- Training of clients employees
- Maintenance
The system is implemented in three-tier architecture: presentation, business logic and data processing tiers. The client interactions with the server part use HTTP protocol which enables the work on the Internet.
Results Achieved
Due to the special technical mechanisms of optimized data processing algorithms, using matrix multiplications we achieved almost instant update of the client data in the database during the auction session (rates, currency buy or sell offer requests, currency position, deals and resulting accounting operations management). It allowed us to get sufficient performance for all existing users of BSCE.
