If you’re into building high-performance trading systems, you’ll want to check out the latest update to FLOX, a modern C++ framework designed for modular, high-throughput, and low-latency trading systems. With version 0.2.0, the FLOX team has added several major components to make your life easier, including a generic WebSocket client interface, asynchronous HTTP transport layer, local order tracking system, and support for multiple instrument types.
One of the most exciting features of this release is the introduction of flox-connectors, a module that makes it easier to build and manage exchange/data provider connectors. The initial version includes a Bybit connector with WebSocket feeds and a REST order executor that’s fully plug-and-play with the FLOX core engine.
The project has also moved to the FLOX Foundation GitHub org, which will make it easier for developers to collaborate and contribute to the project. The long-term vision is to make FLOX the go-to open-source base for production-grade trading infrastructures.
Looking ahead, the FLOX team is planning to add a custom binary format for tick/candle data, backtesting infrastructure, and support for more exchanges like Binance, OKX, and Bitget. If you’re interested in C++, market infrastructure, or connector engineering, this is a great time to get involved and contribute to the project.
So, what do you think? Are you excited about the potential of FLOX to revolutionize trading systems?
