Today’s digital-first financial world thrives on innovation. No matter if you are a broker looking to improve client experience or a developer building solutions for the trading space, the key lies in powerful tools that allow flexibility, scalability and monetization.
That is where the Vertex API Toolkit comes in. Built for developers, brokers and tech entrepreneurs, this toolkit gives you the power to create custom trading apps, automation tools, indicators and more – all integrated directly into one of the industry’s most forward-thinking platform: Vertex by Hybrid Solutions.
But first, let’s introduce the powerhouse behind it all.

Who Are Hybrid Solutions and What Is Vertex Platform?

Founded in 2002, Hybrid Solutions is a name that commands respect in the world of online trading tech providers. With over two decades of dedication to innovation, they have helped brokers and financial institutions progress by providing technologies that cover every aspect of trading – both front-end and back-end.

Hybrid Solutions is known for its flagship platform: Vertex Trader. It is robust, scalable and stand out as the fully hosted solution designed specifically for brokers. This means everything from trade execution to account management is handled, so brokers can focus on growth instead of infrastructure.

Introducing the Vertex API Toolkit

The Vertex API Toolkit is the gateway for developers and businesses to build on top of the Vertex platform. The suite includes complete tools to access live data, automate operations, build custom apps and even launch your own plugins for sale.

Here’s a look at the core components:

1. Currency Server API

If you want real-time market data or want to integrate your own external price feed, the currency Server API makes that happen. It allows integration of real-time price feeds from external sources, so your users have accurate and up-to-date information to make better trading decisions.

2. BackOffice API

This API allows you to automate operations like account creation, reporting, trade execution and more. If you run a brokerage or fintech platform, this is your engine for scaling up operations without increasing workload.

The BackOffice API can be used to:

  • Automate user onboarding
  • Manage trading accounts
  • Execute trades from your own platform
  • Generate backend reports and dashboards

3. Client APIs: REST, WebSocket, WCF

You can build modern, scalable trading applications with the powerful client APIs. Including web-based tools, desktop platforms or mobile apps, the Vertex Client API Suite supports multiple protocols:

  • REST API for simple and secure HTTPS requests
  • WebSocket API for real-time two-way communication
  • WCF API for advanced Windows-based integrations

From simple data widgets to full trading terminals, these APIs give you ultimate flexibility.

Become a Certified ISV (Independent Software Vendor)

Hybrid Solutions encourages brokers and developers to go one step further and become certified Independent Software Vendors (ISVs). Why?

As an ISV, you get full access to the Vertex API Kit, so you can create your own plugins and list them in the Vertex vStore. This opens up monetization opportunities – your tools can now be marketed and sold to the global network of Vertex users.

This means your work as a developer is not limited to private projects. You can turn your ideas into products, build a business around them and join a thriving trading ecosystem that rewards innovation.

This program is for developers building:

  • Trading Scripts
  • Scalping Tools
  • Feed Adapters
  • Market News Plugins
  • Risk Management Solutions
  • Mobile and Web Apps
  • External Trading Platform Integrations
  • Quote & Calculator Tools
  • BackOffice Automation Tools

And here’s a summary of what you can get as a certified ISV:

  • 24/6 technical support from Hybrid Solutions’ expert team
  • A dedicated listing for your product in the VertexFX vStore
  • Community access for networking, knowledge sharing and feedback
  • A custom product section at vStore.co for promotion and technical discussion
  • Access to the full Vertex API Kit and documentation

You will not only be backed by support but also get visibility across a global trading network, opening up real revenue opportunities.

Explore VTL - The Heart of Vertex Scripting

At the center of this is Vertex Trading Language (VTL) – a specialized programming language for building trading tools.

You can build custom indicators, auto-trading robots, trading alerts, and expert advisors (EAs) with the VTL.

There are two modes:

VTL Server: Your scripts are hosted directly on the VertexFX server. It supports .NET-style syntax and object-oriented programming. You can build automated strategies that run 24/7 – perfect for EAs and robots.

VTL Client: These scripts run on the client terminal and are written in a VB6-like language. Great for indicators and GUI-based tools.

And with the VTL Editor, you get a clean, user-friendly interface to write, test and compile your scripts with error detection and strategy simulation.

Other Tools in the Vertex Toolkit

Let’s explore the various tools in the Vertex API Suite that empower developers to build custom trading solutions:

Vertex WCF Service

Want to build your own web-based market watch or mobile trading terminal? The Vertex WCF Service is your solution. It allows you to replicate the functionality of the Vertex client app with your own design and infrastructure.

Create:

  • Browser-based trading dashboards
  • Mobile trading experiences
  • Custom interfaces for your audience

With WCF, you are not tied to Windows applications. You can go cross-platform and reach more users.

BackOffice WCF Service

For developers focused on backend operations, the BackOffice WCF Service offers powerful tools for integrating trade management, user control, and reporting directly into your own systems.

It supports all essential functions from version 10.4 and above, making it an excellent starting point for backend automation projects.

Vertex FIX API

For institutional traders and professional connectivity, the Vertex FIX API meets the industry standard (FIX 4.4). This allows:

  • Easy migration from other platforms
  • Onboarding of new liquidity providers or market makers
  • Real-time, secure communication between trading systems

If you are connecting multiple counterparties, this is the tool you will need.

Backend APIs for Advanced Integration

For more advanced integrations, Vertex backend APIs let you go deeper via:

SMS Server API: Automate trader notifications and alerts

Bridge LP API:  Connect your platform with liquidity providers

Currency Server API: Set up custom market feeds

These APIs help you tailor your trading infrastructure down to the server level.

Monetize Through the vStore Marketplace

Once your plugin or tool is built and tested, you can list it on the Vertex vStore. This global marketplace is where brokers and traders shop for tools to improve their trading experience.

You will be able to:

  • Sell your VTL scripts
  • Offer tools as a subscription
  • Gain exposure to a global trading community

This is about building a business within the Vertex ecosystem.
