Reactive Trader®

Reactive Trader® is a real-time FX trading platform designed to showcase reactive programming principles across the full application stack.

Originally written in WPF and .Net, and now in React/Redux, .Net and Node.js, we continue to evolve the platform to use the latest technologies.
