Platform · Markets
The session never really closes.
Liquidity moves around the clock and around the world. Raptor treats the trading session as data, not decoration: instruments know when they are liquid, and the platform behaves accordingly.
- What it is
- A unified market layer across FX, indices, metals, energy, equities and crypto, with one instrument master, one symbology and one set of session definitions.
- Who it is for
- Multi-asset traders, and brokers who need to add or retire instruments without a release.
- Why it matters
- Cross-asset context is where most of the useful information sits. That only works if every asset class is described the same way.
- How it connects
- The instrument master feeds the terminal, the risk engine, the CRM and the API. Adding an instrument once makes it available everywhere.
- What happens next
- Ask for the instrument list relevant to your desk and see how sessions, margin and tick sizes are configured.
Sessions
One clock, three sessions
Liquidity is not evenly distributed across the day. The globe reads the current UTC clock and shows which of the three primary sessions are open, and roughly where each one sits in its own arc. Session hours describe market convention, not exchange calendars.
Tokyo, Singapore and Sydney. Thinner books and tighter ranges than the later sessions, which makes levels set here worth carrying forward into the European open.
The deepest FX session. The overlap with New York carries the bulk of the day’s volume, and most of the day’s range is typically set inside this window.
US data and the cash equity open land here. Liquidity is high through the London overlap and thins noticeably after the European close.
Coverage
What is on the board.
Six asset classes on one ticket, and the session clocks kept where a trader can see them.
Coverage
- Around five hundred instruments across six asset classes
- Foreign exchange, metals, indices, crypto, equities and commodities
- One watchlist, one ticket and one position view across all of them
- Favourites separated from the full list, because a trader watches eight things and owns two
Sessions
- The four session clocks kept on screen, not in a help page
- Instruments carry their own trading hours rather than a single market calendar
- The economic calendar sits in the toolbar, so an event is visible before it moves the price
What is inside
One instrument master
Symbology, tick size, contract size, margin profile and session hours defined once.
Session awareness
Asia, London and New York behaviour is modelled per instrument, not assumed globally.
Cross-asset views
Correlation and relative-strength views across asset classes, with the caveat that correlation is not causation.
Instrument lifecycle
Add, suspend or retire instruments through configuration, with the change visible in every module.
Market data adapters
Feed handlers are pluggable; the platform does not assume a single data vendor.
Quality controls
Stale-tick detection, spread sanity checks and feed-health surfacing rather than silent bad prints.
