Major B2CONNECT Update: Smarter Liquidity Routing, Advanced Controls, and a Comprehensive UI Overhaul

The evolution of B2CONNECT, our crypto-native liquidity hub, continues! Following the FIX protocol and connectivity improvements in our May updates, this release introduces a new layer of powerful orchestration and management tools designed for professional brokerages.

Here's a quick look at the major enhancements now live:

• Multi-Provider Liquidity Orchestration with auto-failover.

• Granular Spread Controls via a new UI and CSV import.

• Symbol-Based Invalidation to eliminate stale quotes.

• Aggregated Execution Reporting for cleaner, consolidated fills.

• A New UI for Automated Swap Charges with advanced scheduling.

• More Reliable Order Flow for FOK and cancel requests.

• Simplified, Account-Level Symbol Management.

• A Complete Web UI Overhaul for better performance.

Each of these enhancements provides a more robust and efficient liquidity management ecosystem for your brokerage. Let's explore them in more detail.

A Comprehensive Web UI Overhaul for Modern Usability

This release introduces a top-to-bottom redesign of the B2CONNECT Web UI. Our goal was to create a faster, more intuitive, and data-rich experience for administrators, and we've rebuilt the interface with modern workflows in mind.

Here’s how we improved the day-to-day experience:

• New Structured Side Menu: Navigation is now much cleaner. We’ve moved less-used sections out of the way to put your most important operational tools front and centre.

• Higher Information Density: We’ve tightened up the design. This means you can now see about 20% more data on your screen, which means less scrolling.

  Enhanced Table Controls: Working with data is now easier. All tables have new controls for sorting, filtering, and customising columns. Action buttons are also now always visible—perfect for tablets.

Streamlined Workflows with Import Wizards

We've completely replaced our old import pop-ups. Any workflow that requires a file upload, like the CSV import for spreads or swaps, now uses a modern, multi-step wizard.

This new wizard-based approach prevents you from accidentally closing a window without saving, can handle more complex data, and provides clearer feedback, making your administrative tasks faster and more reliable.

Multi-Provider Liquidity Orchestration for Unmatched Reliability

Relying on a single liquidity provider introduces significant operational risk. An outage from one source can halt your entire trading operation, which is why this B2CONNECT release introduces a new multi-provider liquidity orchestration engine.

This system connects to and manages multiple LPs at once. It actively monitors symbol availability across all providers, and if an issue is detected, its automatic failover logic instantly reroutes order flow to a healthy provider.

The result is a dramatic reduction in downtime and a new level of trading reliability. It delivers full multi-maker and multi-taker compatibility, giving you the confidence that your operations remain stable under any market conditions.

Advanced Spread Control for a Better Trading Experience

Uncontrolled spread fluctuations from LPs can create a volatile and unpredictable trading experience for your clients, eroding their trust. 

B2CONNECT now lets your administrators define the maximum allowable spread for any symbol directly via our revamped Web UI.

Your team can set precise limits for each instrument individually or in bulk by uploading a CSV file. The system then automatically works to keep the spread within your defined range, filtering out erroneous quotes and sharp fluctuations.

Symbol-Based Invalidation to Ensure Price Integrity

A stale or "dead" price quote from a liquidity provider is a major risk to your brokerage, potentially leading to off-market executions and financial losses. 

To proactively defend against this, B2CONNECT now features an intelligent symbol-based price invalidation system, giving you granular control over the integrity of your price feeds.

This system works on two levels:

• You can set an Invalidation Timeout for each symbol, per provider. If a quote isn't updated within the time you define, it's automatically discarded.

• The system is also event-driven, reacting instantly if a source is manually disabled or if it sends an external invalidation signal from its end.

Once a quote is invalidated, it is immediately removed from your order book to protect your operations from risk. The outcome is a precise and trustworthy price feed for every instrument you offer.

Aggregated Execution Reporting for Cleaner Fills

Executing large orders across multiple sources can result in fragmented reports with many partial fills. This creates challenges for certain trading platforms, like cTrader, and complicates back-office reconciliation.

The latest B2CONNECT release introduces aggregated execution reporting to fix this. Our system now intelligently merges all partial fills from a single order, sending one final, consolidated report to the taker's platform.

This small change delivers a much cleaner reporting experience for your end-users and significantly simplifies reconciliation for your team.

Automated Swap Charges with a New, Powerful UI

We know that managing swap charges is a complex but vital part of running a profitable brokerage. To make this process simpler and more efficient, we've built the Swap Profile Planner and Editor right into the B2CONNECT Web UI.

Custom Swap Profiles

The new interface is built around creating detailed Swap Profiles that you can then assign to individual client accounts. Within each profile, you can define precise rules for every trading instrument, giving you full control over your offering.

You have complete flexibility to:

• Set unique swap rates for both long and short positions.

• Define these charges in either Points or as a Percentage.

• Apply negative rates to debit swaps from an account, as well as positive rates to credit them.

Advanced and Flexible Scheduling

The built-in scheduler moves far beyond simple overnight charges. It is a powerful planner that gives admins full control over when swaps are applied.

You have the power to set multiple, distinct charge times on any given day of the week. It also fully supports the classic "triple swap" logic for weekends, applied automatically on the day you choose.

Сreate a sophisticated and fully automated swap strategy that aligns perfectly with your business model.

Efficient Swap Management with CSV Tools

For brokerages managing numerous instruments and profiles, B2CONNECT offers a powerful CSV workflow for swaps. You can export any profile, make bulk changes in a spreadsheet, and import it back to update or clone settings instantly. 

Our smart import wizard even validates your file for errors before applying changes, ensuring data integrity.

This entire toolset is designed to replace manual swap calculations and give you a sophisticated system for managing a key part of your brokerage's revenue.

Order Flow Improvements

We’ve made several key under-the-hood improvements to ensure that order handling is more robust and reliable for your clients. 

This update specifically targets two critical areas:

• Better Fill-or-Kill (FOK) Execution: We've improved how our system handles tiny differences in decimal precision between takers and makers. The result is a much higher success rate for your FOK orders and fewer frustrating rejections.

• More Effective Cancel Requests: The logic for order cancellations has also been refined. This change increases the probability of a cancellation request succeeding when sent, giving your traders more responsive control in fast-moving markets.

Streamlined Symbol Configuration at the Account Level

We’ve made managing which symbols are available for your clients much more intuitive. Instead of handling these permissions in a separate section, you can now enable or disable any trading symbol directly within an account's own settings.

This change makes a big difference for your administrative team. It saves time, reduces clicks, and prevents the frustrating configuration conflicts that can arise when settings are managed in multiple places.

Building a More Resilient and Controllable Brokerage

We’re not stopping here. Our commitment to platform excellence is ongoing, and our development teams are already hard at work on the next wave of powerful features. Stay tuned for what's next.
