High-frequency traders and race cars. Aren’t they similar? The “piranhas” of trading venues and racing machines of F1 are the fastest creatures in their respective worlds. Both challenge technology providers and stimulate progress. They shape technology standards of respective industries.
What teams compete in HFT? Can only large and rich companies afford to participate? Winning demands large upfront investments into technologies and people. Cars and pilots are only the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of support personnel. Race cars do not look like normal cars. They are very specialized and expensive. They also require special driving skills.
The observations are generally true for HFT. But Russia seems an exception at least for now.

About a year ago ARQA Technologies started to introduce the broad possibilities of pre-trade checks developed within its trading platform QUIK to clients abroad. Numerous Russian and CIS clients as well as Russian subsidiaries of international houses have been using the tools of risk control developed for the QUIK platform for quite some time now.
QUIK as a risk server is a powerful tool working across currencies, instruments, venues and keeping multi-level positions in real time. The versatile system of risk checks relies on a variety of approaches and may be customized to suit particular needs.
The reasons for its sophisticated risk control functions are traced to the history of Russian financial markets. Since mid 90-s trading in the emerging Russian market demanded that brokers be extra precautious and prudent. Brokers made sure that clients had deposited required resources before trading and watched lest the trades went into negative account balances.
