Release Notes – July 2024
What’s new?
Trading Applications
🚀Instant App Switching
Switching between the Wintrado trading apps (both NEO and PRO) and other applications such as your browser on mobile or even just a different tab on the web has just become a lot quicker. With this release, we removed the need for the apps to go through the entire login cycle every time they go from background to foreground, which made the entire experience a lot quicker.
Go see yourself. Right icon features the old loading experience, left icon is the new:
And this is on a fast phone and internet connection – the effect is much more noticeable even on slower devices.
Unread Message Counters
We have added a bubble indicating the number of unread messages in the in-app mailbox to the NEO and PRO platforms:
Trailing Stop-Loss
Customers can now optionally set a trailing stop-loss percentage in the PRO platform. The trailing stop-loss is a dynamic stop-loss that moves with the market price, maintaining a distance of a certain percentage from the current market price.
Improved order size input in PRO
On the PRO platform, the order size input has received a plus and a minus button to make it easier to adjust the order size. The input will be prefilled with the lowest possible order size, and the buttons allow adjusting the size in the minimum increment (step size) that has been configured for the given symbol up to the maximum order size.
Customer Backoffice
Improved support for demo wallets & wallet self-service
In the customer backoffice, it is now easier to distinguish between LIVE and DEMO wallets:
Users can also create new wallets (the maximum number can be limited by the operator) and top up demo wallets on their own up to a configurable amount.
This enables a full self-service DEMO trading experience until customers decide to move forward and deposit to their live wallets.
Demo payment provider “MonopolyMoney”
The new payment provider MonopolyMoney can be enabled on demo environments and for testing purposes. It allows the user to simulate successful and failing deposits to LIVE accounts without going through an actual PSP. Enable with caution and on isolated environments only.
The usage is demonstrated on the new Payment Providers documentation page.
Admin Portal
🪲 BUGFIX: Customer details page no longer slow
The customers detail page view would occassionally get very slow when the platform had a lot of open positions. This bug has been resolved so that all interactions are fast again.
🛡️ Order IP Addresses
For each customer order, the IP address is now not only stored in the trading server’s logs but also available via the Admin Portal and the Admin APIs.
Trading Server
🛡️Quote Processing Performance Improvements
The performance and reliability team at wintrado continously works to improve the platform under the hood. Unfortunately most of these changes are invisible to the end user but still improve the customer experience a lot.
In the past month, we have added a distributed tracing architecture to all wintrado systems so that we can obtain performance profiles of every single operation on the platform:

Together with load testing, a bottleneck has been identified when a lot of pending orders are present on the platform. We have made significant changes to process these faster so that the quote processing and thus forwarding latency has been reduced by another 5-10ms. This lowers the attack surface for arbitrage bots and improves the overall trading experience.
