In a browser window, you have 1 thread of execution. In a native application, you can utilize all of the CPU cores on your PC. There's no misconception of which one is better for real-time trading.

While it's technically true that properly multithreaded software written in lower level programming languages can currently outperform a browser application, the difference is considerably more minuscule than a human can perceive, and is thus only applicable to high-frequency trading.

On our platform, we utilize the in-browser Worker API, which allows us to offload work onto multiple threads. Many browsers also have different types of multithreading. For instance, Chrome has a multi-process architecture and each process is heavily multi-threaded, some rendering is also offloaded to the GPU (graphics card). The majority of the OptimusTrader platform is utilizing hardware acceleration in supported browsers.
 
hardware acceleration is a feature that allows the browser to access the device graphics hardware to speed up processes, thus improving the overall user experience.

Thanks for the feedback @destriero ! It's clean, and the focus was on execution.
 
Matt, I am always curious why with so many platforms available, people invest time and money into developing new ones (seemingly reinventing the wheel).
Would you mind talking about what functionality you felt was missing (or was sub par) that inspired you to build your own? Or is it that you have enough customers for whom you would be able to do customizations that would be harder to get done with other "generic" platforms?
