Why serious algorithmic trading firms abandon retail brokerages in favor of unadulterated Direct Market Access (DMA).
Standard retail brokerages are fundamentally misaligned with high-frequency algorithmic success. Because their infrastructure is designed for low-volume manual trading, they often suffer from hidden aggregation, synthetic slippage, asymmetric execution delays, and arbitrary plugin interventions during volatile periods.
HarvestGroup360 provides pure technology infrastructure, aggregating raw liquidity from Tier-1 banks and ECNs. We operate on a strict Direct Market Access (DMA) philosophy. We do not take opposing risk, we do not interfere with trade routing, and our revenue is derived strictly from technology licensing and infrastructure provision, ensuring absolute alignment with our institutional partners.
