Infrastructure & Technology

Built for microseconds.

The difference between alpha and noise is often measured in milliseconds. Our infrastructure is designed from the ground up to ensure execution quality never degrades our edge.

Co-location & Execution

The signal reaches the exchange before others decide.

Our servers co-locate physically inside the same data centres as the exchange matching engines. The network hop from our compute to the order book is measured in nanoseconds, not milliseconds. This isn't an optimisation — it is table stakes for the strategies we run.

Kernel-bypass networking (DPDK/RDMA) eliminates the operating system from the critical path. Orders are formed in user-space and sent directly to the NIC. The result: deterministic, repeatable latency with minimal jitter.

Risk Engine

Risk is non-negotiable. It's also non-manual.

At most firms, risk management is a policy document. At Zorvainstreet, it is a compiled binary. Every order our system attempts to send passes through a risk engine that checks: position size vs. hard limits, current drawdown vs. model thresholds, portfolio gross/net exposure vs. portfolio-level caps. If any check fails, the order is rejected — not reviewed, not escalated. Rejected.

Every model has a kill switch. When a strategy's live performance diverges materially from its historical distribution, it is automatically suspended pending review. The suspension happens in microseconds. Human oversight follows — but the protection doesn't wait for humans.

Position limits

Hard-coded in the execution layer. Cannot be overridden at runtime.

Drawdown triggers

Per-strategy suspension activates automatically when P&L deviates beyond defined thresholds.

Portfolio exposure caps

Gross and net exposure checked before every order across all live strategies simultaneously.

Kill switches

Instantaneous strategy suspension without human intervention when regime shifts are detected.
