Democratising Institutional Trading

Every traditional asset exchange and the top 10 digital asset exchanges, with new exchanges being added based on demand.

Unlike other services so far that have required broker integrations in order to execute trades, Axiom is designed from the ground up to be a unified solution. Having to integrate your own brokers defies the purpose of Axiom being completely frictionless. This is especially useful for strategies that require trades to be placed across multiple exchanges.

Axiom gives you direct access to exchanges, with no need to sign up to various venues, go through KYC, and integrate APIs. With that said, if you wish to do this then you can.

Most retail trading platforms also act as brokerages, enforcing spread and PFOF.

Spread and PFOF have negative effects on your ROI, as you're receiving sub-optimal trade executions.

Brokers earn their revenue at the expense of users, a lucrative business model in the retail world.

For digital assets, Axiom directly integrates with exchanges, bypassing brokers that earn their revenue at user expense. For traditional assets, Axiom leverages brokers that offer traders on our platform commission-free Direct Market Access (DMA).

Regardless of what you trade, you will receive DMA, which is the only way to guarantee true asset pricing and optimal trade execution.

Initially, Python will be the language used to write strategies, but we will add new languages over time.

There exists many “no code automation” platforms that leverage LLMs for this purpose. Some examples are: Composer, CoinRule, MachineTrader, Trality, Tuned, and QuantMage.

However, these platforms fall short for one or more of the following reasons:

• Not allowing truly coded strategies, just simple “click and drop” rules with pre-built adjustable parametres
• Having to run your strategy on your own (either by building a local system or setting up/paying for cloud infrastructure)
• Requiring various integrations (meaning more coding on your part) to make up the entire toolset of strategy testing
• Acting as a brokerage, and hence not allowing users to access raw pricing

We will offer AI-assisted code generation in 2026, which will integrate with our infrastructure. Any trader will be able to use this to produce and run sophisticated automated trading strategies.

Axiom is targeted towards the majority of traders who want a ready-to-go cloud-based solution, which is managed by us. An on-premise solution is generally more complex for the user to set up, incurs significantly higher costs due to data transfer between servers, and would require the user to perform frequent software updates.

We understand that there are some use-cases, where on-premise is the right solution, e.g. prop firms. If there's sufficient demand, we will offer this.

For our managed cloud solution, traders can select co-location if proximity to a single exchange is a factor, or choose cross-exchange trading if they prefer to trade across multiple venues as part of the same strategy without requiring sub-millisecond precision. In either case, users can decide where to host their virtual machine.

Whether you want to fully automate a strategy using code, leverage automation to assist with your manual decision-making, or trade seamlessly on various exchanges through our user interface with access to raw pricing, you can do it on Axiom.

Yes, anyone with enough time and knowledge can do this. However, there are multiple steps involved in doing so. Below is a summary of the steps involved for a single strategy:

1. Integrating with all the exchanges you wish to retrieve data and/or trade on, and staying up-to-date with API changes
2. Handling disconnections and reconnections
3. Managing account balances and positions
4. Hosting your strategy on the cloud if uptime is a significant factor
5. Coding an interface to perform tasks such as stopping, starting, and changing parameters
6. Data storage functionality to store logs/outputs from strategy
7. Ability to backtest, forward-test and integrate with ML if necessary

We went through this tedious process and would have much rather just used a service like Axiom, had it existed.

Axiom doesn't necessarily offer “special tooling”, as there is no such thing. It's rather that the process of testing strategies on Axiom is simple and frictionless.

Our trader console allows seamless integrations with your strategies, allowing you to dynamically test any changes. This is what makes Axiom's integrated tooling “special”.

Currently, traders often pay for a combination of services as part of their toolkit. Because Axiom is a unified solution, you no longer need to leverage these services, thereby saving on monthly costs. Providing this solution requires us to incur significant data and infrastructure costs. Because of this, Axiom will be a paid monthly service with free trials where applicable. Below are some examples of services that offer features comparable to Axiom.

Service	Price (USD/month)
Alpaca	$100
Polygon	$200
QuantConnect	$60

Axiom will be priced on par with these services.
