Keeping and Querying Trade History.

Three notes on how trading history is used, kept and queried once the platform is live.

Why does the History Server ship in every tier?

History is what reporting, account statements and any look back at past activity depend on, so it ships in every tier. How much history you keep and how fast it needs to be queried is part of the sizing conversation.

Why should retention needs be raised during planning?

The History Server is what makes statements, audits and reviews of past activity possible, which is why it is never optional. Retention needs vary by jurisdiction, so it is worth raising your requirements during planning.

Which teams rely most on the History Server?

The History Server matters to compliance and reporting teams, who need activity records available and queryable, and to support desks answering client questions about past trades.

Where This Fits.

The trading record is one job among several in a TM9 server set. To see the trader-facing app whose activity ends up in that record, start at the TM9 home page.

The server set

The History Server is the record-keeper among four server roles, working next to the Trade Server for order flow, the Access Server for terminal connections and the Backup Server. Standard and Business each run one trade server and Express runs four, while gateways are quoted separately and added upon order.

Where every executed trade lands

Orders pass through the Trade Server, terminals reach the platform through the Access Server, and the Backup Server is there for continuity, while every executed trade lands in the History Server. That history role is identical in all tiers; only the trade-server count changes. Gateways are ordered on their own, so a broker connects just the systems its business uses.

Good to know

Whichever tier you license, the History Server is the same; the difference lies in trade servers, with one in Standard and Business and four in Express. Gateways are added upon order outside the bundle. How much history you retain is agreed on the rollout call along with sizing and backup, before pricing is confirmed.
