Our platform
Carapace.
Our proprietary trading and client technology platform. Built in-house. Hardened in production. The infrastructure that makes everything else possible.
Technology is not a feature. It is the firm.
Every order, every price, every risk calculation at Roaches flows through Carapace — our proprietary execution and client technology stack. We did not buy it. We did not bolt it together from vendor components. We built it, because the firms that rely on third-party infrastructure are the first to fail when that infrastructure does.
Carapace is the reason we can offer sub-millisecond execution, real-time risk management and a single consolidated view of every position across every asset class. It is also the reason we can move fast when markets move against everyone else.
