We build institutional-grade trading infrastructure for independent traders who refuse to settle for second-best. No compromise on execution, transparency, or technology.
The founders of NexTrade spent a combined 40 years trading at top-tier banks and hedge funds. When they started trading independently, they were shocked at how poor the retail trading experience was compared to what they had access to at institutions.
Slow execution, wide spreads, hidden markups, and opaque pricing had become normalised in the retail industry. They decided to fix it.
NexTrade was built from scratch using the same low-latency infrastructure found at institutional trading desks — direct connections to Tier-1 liquidity providers, co-located matching engines, and raw interbank pricing with no artificial spread widening.
Today, 85,000+ traders across 150 countries rely on NexTrade for serious market access. Our infrastructure handles over $1.2 billion in daily volume with consistent sub-50ms execution across all instruments.

Uptime SLA
Six principles that guide every product decision we make.
Client funds are held in fully segregated Tier-1 bank accounts. Your money is never used for company operations — ever.
Every infrastructure decision prioritises speed and reliability. Sub-50ms fills, no requotes, 99.98% uptime — not aspirations, actuals.
We route directly to 14 Tier-1 liquidity providers with no dealing desk intervention. You get the real market, not a manufactured one.
Published slippage statistics, real execution reports, and no hidden fees. We tell you exactly what you're paying and why.
Our team is made up of active traders. Every feature is built because we needed it ourselves — not because a product manager guessed.
Full REST API, WebSocket market data feeds, and open documentation. Automate, integrate, or build on top of NexTrade infrastructure.
