The Real-Time Advantage: Why Brokers Need To Move As Fast As Their Traders

From hyper-personalised market alerts to a 166% surge in trading volume, Solitics is powering the next generation of trading experiences.

The Seismic Shift: Trading Has Changed. Have Brokers?

In an environment where geopolitical shocks, macro events, and investor sentiment can move markets in seconds, traders can no longer wait to react. They should already be moving.

Today's traders and financial service providers require real-time execution, streaming data across platforms, and immediate insights. Yet many brokers still rely on delayed, static, or one-size-fits-all solutions, and it’s costing them.

Solitics' powerful solutions help both companies and their clients stay up-to-date with down-to-the-minute information.

Solitics provides financial service providers with the vital ability to create personalised communications and boost activity even further through live, real-time market updates. Every message, every signal, is personalised, contextual, actionable, and delivered in real time.  

The opportunity: Real-time relevance drives real results

Real-time data flows and hyper-personalised data aren’t just enhancing the trading experience; they're doing so while driving growth. Traders want to see emerging trends before they materialise, confirm market signals faster, and pivot their strategies on the fly. For financial service providers, this unlocks valuable outcomes: higher trading volume, deeper engagement, and stronger retention.

Nasdaq.com seems to agree:

"Real-time data service is one of the foundational elements for serving investors…"

So the question isn't whether to offer real-time data — it's how fast you can start.

The answer: Solitics powers the real-time trader experience

Solitics is not just a platform. It's the infrastructure that transforms raw data into real-time relevance — personalised, contextual, and delivered instantly.

Solitics can help facilitate increased activity, while also benefiting a firm's clients:

• Real-time market event updates
• Behaviour-triggered messaging across every channel
• Instant insights tailored to the trader's profile, assets, and market position
• Seamless integration with third-party data, liquidity, and platforms
  

This is how brokers, and increasingly, banks are staying competitive in 2025.

How it works: From insight to action in real time

In a matter of milliseconds, Solitics gathers data from multiple sources, trading behaviour, platform actions, and market events, and converts it into meaningful action. Whether it's alerting a trader upon the release of an earnings report, nudging them with a personalised insight during market turbulence, or promoting a relevant asset opportunity, Solitics makes it instant.

And because it’s built with compliance and scalability in mind (GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001:2013, SOC 2 Type II), brokers can move fast, without compromising control.

Case studies: Evest and ONE ZERO

Let's look at how two very different clients, an EMEA broker and a licensed digital bank, are using Solitics to drive measurable outcomes. This also shows Solitics' level of customisation, being able to meet the needs of two very different organisations with very distinct requirements. Although each organisation's pain points were different, they both wanted to scale their operations. 

Evest: driving retention with real-time impact

Before partnering with Solitics, Evest identified some pain points that slowed growth. These included legacy manual processes, data siloed in isolated pillars, and the inability to scale at the pace and depth that they'd like to. Solitics' ecosystem helped Evest cover all of these operational gaps and bottlenecks, allowing them to rapidly scale both their onboardings and revenue.  

After implementing Solitics to automate multiple processes, consolidate data, and power personalised, real-time data, Evest experienced:

• 20% increase in trader retention month over month
  
• 25% increase in first-time deposits
  

Now the multi-asset broker has immediate access to massive amounts of data through a single gateway. Additionally, their traders now react to live events, not static reports, and are staying active longer as a result.

ONE ZERO: Scaling growth through data intelligence

As an innovative digital bank, ONE ZERO was experiencing rapid growth but was still using manual processes for some of its marketing operations. The lack of automation meant that ONE ZERO couldn't keep up with its growing client base. The bank clearly defined the need to deliver a value-focused experience to traders, doing so fast and in the most personalised way. Partnering with Solitics, ONE ZERO managed to automate their marketing operations, including interacting with clients in real-time, and the results are hard to argue with:

• 54% increase in new activations
  
• 86% growth in active traders year-over-year
  
• 166% surge in trading volume
  

"Solitics enables us to leverage third-party market alerts in a user-relevant, contextual way; these capabilities have been value-generators for our customers."

The bigger picture: Real-time strategies win in fast markets

Real-time data isn't just for moments of market shock, it's about making smarter moves daily. When a central bank surprises with a rate decision, or Bitcoin spikes on geopolitical news, traders don't want to read about it later. They want to act, now. These are a few historical examples where real-time data would've been invaluable. 

Use Case: Flash Crash (2010)
Dow drops 1,000 points in 36 minutes. Traders with real-time alerts could've shorted the initial drop, then traded the recovery for huge gains.

Use Case: "Francogeddon" (2015)
SNB removes the euro peg. Real-time triggers could've prompted traders to short the CHF at the exact moment liquidity shifted.

Use Case: Bitcoin Rally (2017)
A $300 daily jump driven by North Korea tensions. Traders watching safe-haven shifts in real time were in a position to benefit.

More than data: An ecosystem built for growth

Solitics doesn't just alert traders – it creates a data layer that supports long-term strategy. That includes hyper-personalisation at scale (AI-driven), real-time messaging across all channels, 3rd party data partner integrations with multiple providers, and full compliance with global standards.

The result? More trades, longer engagement, and higher lifetime value.

The Future: Always-on, always-aware

The next frontier in trading isn't just speed, it's strategic intelligence at scale. Solitics is building for that future, enabling brokers and banks to offer second-by-second insights powered by AI, automation, and a deep understanding of trader behaviour.

In a world where market conditions can change in milliseconds, Solitics gives providers the edge, not just to keep up, but to lead.
