What KnockOut-Platform is¶
A multi-tenant, white-labelable trading platform for forex and CFD brokerages — one backend serving four operator- and trader-facing surfaces.
KnockOut-Platform lets a brokerage run its whole operation on a single system: the team manages accounts and money in the Backoffice and CRM, traders trade in the WebTrader, customers serve themselves through the Client Zone, and partners integrate through the Partner API. Everything runs over one shared backend, so an account created in the CRM, a deposit approved by an operator, and a position opened by the trader are all the same records seen from different sides.
One platform, four surfaces¶
The platform is made of four surfaces, each aimed at a different audience:
- Backoffice and CRM — where your team runs day-to-day operations: managing accounts and leads, reviewing monetary transactions, configuring brands, and administering users and permissions.
- WebTrader — the browser-based terminal traders use to place orders, manage positions, and monitor their trading accounts.
- Client Zone — the self-service area where traders manage their profile, deposit and withdraw funds, and open trading accounts. The Client Zone is a shape of the same WebTrader, not a separate application — see Modules for how the two relate.
- Partner API — the programmatic interface an affiliate or integrator uses to work with the platform on a partner's behalf.
For a guided tour of what each surface does, see Modules.
Multi-brand and multi-tenant by design¶
A single deployment can host many firms and many brands at once. Each firm is fully isolated — one firm never sees another firm's data. Within a firm, you can run several brands, each with its own name, look, and set of tradable symbols, to serve different markets or audiences while keeping their data separated.
The platform resolves which brand a request belongs to from the web address it arrives on, so a broker's traders reach their branded experience without any brand identifier in the URL. To learn how brands are hosted and branded, see Deployment and white-labeling.
Built for forex and CFD brokerages¶
The platform is purpose-built for margin trading, so the concepts a brokerage works with are first-class rather than bolted on:
- Accounts and the trading accounts they own, each with its own currency, leverage, and balance.
- An instrument catalog, leverage groups, and trading terms that govern what can be traded and on what conditions.
- Monetary transactions — deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and bonuses — as auditable entries you review and approve.
The operator side of all of this is documented in the Operator Guide.
Configure, don't fork¶
Brokers configure the platform rather than commissioning a separate build for each brand. The trader-facing surfaces render themselves over a resolved configuration — brand identity, colors, feature toggles, tradable symbols — so launching or changing a brand is a matter of settings, not a new code branch. This keeps every brand on the same, current platform while still letting each one look and behave like its own product.
