AdaptiveConsulting/ReactiveTraderCloud
Real-time FX trading showcase by Adaptive. THIS REPO IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED.
A real-time FX trading platform demo from Adaptive Consulting, built with React and RxJS to showcase reactive programming patterns across a full trading application stack. It's explicitly archived and will not receive updates. Useful as a reference implementation of a non-trivial reactive UI — not something you'd fork and build on.
The react-rxjs integration is one of the more complete public examples of that pattern at scale — not just a counter or todo list, but real observable pipelines for live price streams and trade state. The credit RFQ workflow (request-for-quote lifecycle across buy-side and sell-side views) is genuinely complex and rarely shown in open source. End-to-end Playwright tests with page object pattern are well-structured and show how to test streaming UI interactions. The OpenFin/Finsemble desktop variants demonstrate what it actually takes to deploy a web trading app to a financial desktop environment.
It's archived and dead — the README says so in the first line. Any dependency you rely on is now frozen and accumulating CVEs with no upstream fixes coming. The backend is Adaptive's proprietary Hydra/Aeron stack, which you can't run locally, so you're studying the client against a black box or the mocked service layer. The OpenFin desktop path requires installing a vendor runtime that complicates local setup considerably and is increasingly irrelevant as the desktop variants are being dropped from the live showcase.
