management server and front-end, matching engine, market data dissemination, trading front-end and C++/.NET/Restful API. These components are architected to work in concert to provide a fast and robust, yet flexible, asset-agnostic, multi-user trading environment.

Realizing the extreme importance of highest throughput, lowest latency and adaptability of financial data delivery mechanisms, they have designed RMCast — their own reliable multicast messaging system. Use of the most advanced communication techniques along with the industry standard FIX protocol gives their platform a cutting edge advantage over competitors.

Their team of talented software engineers has decades of combined first-hand experience in building and implementation of complex software systems. Their success is based on intensive use of object-oriented techniques, design patterns and best of breed communication frameworks. Their research and development is a continuous investment.

Argo SE has started as a one person company back in 2004. Being involved in a number of software development projects for various trading firms I was unimpressed by infrastructural software components used in (under hood of) trading applications. I felt that there was a lot of room for improvement, a need for a better solution. A solution that would communicate faster and more efficiently. Process data faster.

I have started from a key component that glues all the architectural elements together – multicast and topic-based messaging system, RMCast. RMCast was designed to satisfy high throughput, low latency, scalability and adaptability demands of modern market data distribution and real-time risk management systems and it became their first commercial product. Later on Simex, a high capacity/low latency matching engine, was added. By that time Argo was no longer a one person company. It was a tightly knit team of three devoted software engineers working long hours and building a system from the very bottom up. Order router, market data feeder, exchange connectivity modules, Risk management facility followed, all of them adding up to a complete, scalable, expandable, trading solution. A better solution.

Today they offer Argo Trading Platform – a complete electronic trading solution. Their clients are prop. trading companies, hedge funds, trading technology providers, broker-dealers and alternative trading systems.

Their development teams are located in US and Ukraine. Their engineers have a lot in common – best education (at least masters degree in computer science from top engineering schools),

ability to solve difficult problems, passion for the art of computer programming.
