Traditional financial markets have a problem that nobody with a vested interest wants to solve. Retail traders cannot access exchanges directly. Markets close on weekends, leverage above 20x on US stocks is practically impossible without navigating complex options structures, and Robinhood sells order flow to the same hedge funds competing against the retail traders using it. Interactive Brokers buries users in a bloated interface built for a different era. QFEX was founded by quantitative traders from Citadel and Tower Research who experienced all of this firsthand and decided to build the exchange they always wished existed. Unlike charting platforms like TrendSpider or scanning tools like TC2000 that sit on top of existing market infrastructure, QFEX is rebuilding the infrastructure itself. This review covers what QFEX actually offers, how its architecture works, where it stands today, and who it is built for.
