About

Infrastructure for the next generation of market participants.

MarketCortex is building the AI-native execution layer for global markets. We connect agents, traders, and institutions to MT4/MT5, crypto, brokerages, futures, and equities through one programmable surface — observable, governable, and built for autonomy.

Why we exist

Markets are fragmenting faster than tooling can keep up. Every venue ships its own protocol, every broker its own quirks, and every quant team rebuilds the same plumbing. Meanwhile, AI systems are moving from research into production — and they need a place to act.

We built MarketCortex to be that place. One API, one risk engine, one observable execution layer — across every market that matters.

What we believe

Programmable access is a right

Every market should be reachable by code, with the same primitives a human trader gets — orders, fills, positions, risk.

Observability beats configuration

If you can't see why an order routed where it did, no amount of dashboards will save you. Every decision leaves a trace.

Latency is a product feature

Sub-millisecond p99 isn't a marketing number. It's what separates infrastructure from middleware.

Timeline

2016

We started on the desk — building FIX connectivity and a real-time risk engine for an equities and derivatives book, and running quant strategies at scale. That's where the obsession with clean execution plumbing began.

2019

We took the quant playbook into crypto — 24/7 markets, dozens of fragmented venues, and a whole new class of execution and connectivity problems to solve.

2022

We joined the team behind a high-throughput matching engine — and learned, from the inside, exactly what an exchange owes its participants in fairness, latency, and determinism.

2023

We became early movers in AI-driven trading — putting agents on live order flow and discovering what autonomous systems actually need to act safely in markets.

2025 — 2026

We brought a decade of execution, risk, and venue experience together as MarketCortex — the AI-native execution infrastructure for every market.

Where we are

MarketCortex operates from Singapore, with its engineering team based in Portugal. Our infrastructure runs out of co-location facilities adjacent to the venues we connect to — because every microsecond costs basis points somewhere downstream.
