Our take

Over the last decade, innovation in open banking and the fintech sector has greatly increased access to trading platforms, yet their functionality has mostly remained the same. Platforms are generally fixed in their features and provide limited automation functionality, preventing traders from developing personalised trading strategies and integrating other helpful software tools into their workflow.

Valstro develops innovative trading platforms, offering traders the necessary functionality to automate trading workflows, reduce operational errors, and optimise trading performance. The company develops its platforms with a modular approach that allows users to mix-and-match features and leverage APIs to integrate external software, empowering them to personalise their trading experience without adding risk or overhead to day-to-day operations.

Whilst there is no denying that trading platforms are becoming increasingly sophisticated, Valstro has recognised that innovations still lack the flexibility, personalisation, and automation that can truly maximize the efficiency of trading workflows. And this will surely go a long way in securing the company's future success.
