Caplin announces major new version of Caplin Trader

Front-end Ajax framework for Caplin Xaqua single-dealer platform improves performance, look & feel and ease of implementation.

On February 8th Caplin Systems announced a major new version of its Caplin Trader product. Caplin Trader 2.0 is a Web client framework for its Caplin Xaqua single-dealer platform (SDP) framework that includes a range of functional, user experience (UX), performance and implementation enhancements including new "themes" that serve as starting points for building a rich internet application (RIA) with a unique look and feel.

The release announcement was widely covered by the press including publications such as Banking Technology, FX Week, Finextra, Dealing With Technology and A-Team Insight. Links to some of the press coverage are available on our Recent Press Coverage page.

Caplin Trader is a Rich Internet Application (RIA) framework for Caplin Xaqua. It's designed for deployment in the capital markets and enables you to build an RIA that works within any browser.

The resulting RIA will display your prices in a browser with extremely low latency. You can build your RIA to look exactly as you want, to contain what your users need and to allow your users as much, or as little, freedom to configure the interface as you wish.

Performance, already one of Caplin Trader's strong points, has been further improved in Caplin Trader 2.0 with the introduction of a thread scheduler and a JavaScript pre-processor. Systems integrators will be pleased to learn that the new directory structure has been designed to support multiple parallel development streams and to facilitate easier upgrading to new versions.

Caplin Trader's permissioning mechanism allows you to assign different permissions to different components. The permissions infrastructure allows you to apply per user pricing and different workflows both for segments and users within segments.  Different layouts are also available for user segments from retail across corporate, into institutional and also internal sales traders and proprietary traders.
