We Build the Infrastructure.
You Build the Alpha.
Nanoconda was built by trading technologists who know exactly what it costs to build, certify, and operate a CME DMA gateway in-house – and set out to make that cost disappear.
The Problem We Set Out to Solve
High-frequency futures trading on CME has always required institutional-grade infrastructure: a certified exchange gateway, a high-performance market data feed handler, colocation hardware, and the engineering team to build and maintain it all.
For large banks and multi-billion-dollar hedge funds, that's a manageable overhead. For everyone else – prop trading firms, systematic hedge funds, and independent algo traders – it's a multi-million-dollar barrier that keeps great strategies off the exchange.
We built Nanoconda because we believed that DMA infrastructure shouldn't be the moat. The moat should be your strategy. So we built everything else – and wrapped it in a single flat-rate subscription.
Nanoconda is headquartered in Plano, Texas, and operates CME-certified infrastructure at the exchange's Aurora, Illinois, colocation facility. Our platform is used by professional futures traders across the US.

What We Stand For
The principles that guide how we build and support our platform.
We obsess over every nanosecond in the data path. Latency is not a feature – it's the foundation. Every architectural decision starts with: "Does this add latency?"
Flat-rate pricing, no hidden fees, no surprises. We tell you exactly what you're getting, how it works, and what it costs – before you sign anything.
We don't earn more when you trade more. Our incentive is to give you the best infrastructure so you can trade confidently – and stay with us long-term.
HFT infrastructure has no tolerance for downtime. We maintain CME certification, monitor infrastructure 24/6, and treat every second of uptime as business-critical.
We give you a simple API and straightforward onboarding – without sacrificing the institutional-grade internals that serious traders require.
We don't try to support every market or protocol. We do CME futures DMA exceptionally well. That focus makes us better at it than generalist providers.
Who We Work With
Nanoconda is purpose-built for professional futures traders who run systematic or high-frequency strategies.
Access CME markets at HFT speed without building your own gateway team. Redirect engineering effort toward strategy.
Institutional DMA with FCM integration, audit trails, and risk controls that meet compliance standards for fund operations.
Production-ready infrastructure from day one, with a simulator to validate strategies before committing real capital.
PCAP replay and the trading simulator give researchers the fidelity needed to validate latency-sensitive strategy assumptions.
Provide clients with sponsored CME access through managed infrastructure, without operating your own certified gateway.
Go from zero to live on CME in days. Skip the 12–18 month gateway build cycle and spend that time on alpha.
What CME ISV Certification Means for You
An Independent Software Vendor (ISV) certification from CME Group means our platform has been tested and approved to connect directly to CME Globex matching engines – not through a third-party broker's gateway.
Certification requires Nanoconda to pass a rigorous conformance suite covering iLink 3.0 order entry and MDP 3.0 market data. We maintain this certification continuously as CME updates its protocols.
For you, this means you're connecting to CME through production-certified infrastructure – not a workaround or an intermediary that adds latency and operational risk.
