Eightcap partnered with Axon Active for trading platform development to enhance its global self-service trading portal. A dedicated software development team in Vietnam, supported by Australian product leadership and Axon Active’s delivery governance, delivers high-quality features in bi-weekly Agile sprints. Close collaboration with Eightcap’s Melbourne-based product and engineering teams enables fast, scalable innovation across a modern full-stack environment.
Eightcap is a premier global online brokerage serving both retail and institutional clients with seamless access to forex, CFDs, cryptocurrencies, and indices.
Through a strategic partnership with Axon Active, the company developed the Eightcap Client Portal—fintech software development for a global brokerage. This centralized, self-service platform allows traders to easily manage their MT4, MT5, and TradeLocker accounts. Key features include secure account registration, multi-currency funding, integrated bank and crypto payment gateways, and transparent transaction histories. The portal also features multi-language support and robust security protocols, giving users full control over their assets.
This ongoing offshore software development is powered by Axon Active’s engineering center in Vietnam, providing scalable engineering capacity aligned with Eightcap’s long-term product roadmap. The collaboration connects Eightcap’s Australia-based teams with Axon Active’s experienced delivery organization, ensuring stable team composition, efficient project management, and consistent delivery quality.
The team works in two-week Agile sprints, with planning sessions, daily standups, and sprint demos coordinated between Melbourne and Vietnam through shared collaboration windows. Each sprint delivers working software that can be validated against real user journeys and business requirements.
Collaboration is enabled through shared tools, documentation, and code repositories, ensuring transparency and alignment across teams. A stable, dedicated development team allows engineers to accumulate deep domain knowledge over time and remain closely integrated with Eightcap’s product and engineering organization. Product direction, prioritization, and delivery decisions are managed in close partnership with stakeholders in Melbourne, supporting efficient execution and long-term platform evolution.
The team uses Jira for task management, sprint planning, and work item tracking throughout the development lifecycle, while Slack serves as the primary communication channel for day-to-day collaboration.
The Axon Active team contributes across the full development lifecycle of the Eightcap Client Portal, providing custom trading software development to support the platform’s evolution, working closely with stakeholders from initial design through deployment and continuous iteration. The portal serves as the primary interface for account management, supporting registration, deposits, withdrawals, and transaction tracking across all account types.
Development focuses on maintaining a high-availability platform, ensuring data integrity, and delivering consistent performance across multiple regions.
Engineers work across both frontend and backend layers, using Angular (TypeScript) for the user interface and .NET, Python, and Go for backend services. This full-stack development approach supports trading platform development, ensuring consistent API design, responsive user experiences, and reliable performance while reducing dependencies between team roles and minimizing handover delays.
Data is managed across AWS, each selected based on its strengths: relational storage for structured financial records, document storage for flexible user and transaction data, and caching and messaging for low-latency access. The team continuously refines schema design, indexing, and query performance to support efficient and consistent data handling.
Due to the nature of Kiro CLI, we use AI agents as an integrated development pipeline rather than a simple chat-based tool. As part of our AI product development approach, the system supports the full development lifecycle, starting with analyzing existing codebase patterns and researching GitHub repositories for best practices before any code is written. The collected context is then structured into a set of guiding questions using an Aristotelian-style framework to identify ambiguities and gray areas, where human input refines the technical specifications. Based on this validated context, AI generates implementation plans that can be executed autonomously or with human assistance.
Code changes are then routed to advanced AI models for automated review, governed by predefined engineering standards and human-defined rules. Integrated with AWS, the pipeline automatically pre-reviews every code change to ensure consistency with established patterns before it reaches human reviewers. This workflow enables parallel development, faster delivery, consistent code quality, and self-documenting systems through structured specifications.
"Axon Active has become an integral extension of our team, helping us maximize the value of our platform through ongoing innovation and reliable support. Their technical expertise, flexibility, and commitment to excellence have enabled us to move faster, operate more efficiently, and confidently achieve our business objectives."
The system is designed to operate across regions, with attention to data consistency, latency, and availability. The team monitors performance and adjusts services and data handling where needed to ensure stable operation, particularly during periods of increased trading activity.
Different technologies—Angular, Python, Go, and .NET—are used based on the needs of each component. Engineers work across the stack, which helps maintain alignment between frontend and backend and reduces the need for handovers between separate teams.
Classical staff augmentation is short-term, rotational, and day-rate billed. Axon Active’s full dedicated team model is long-term, 100% dedicated (engineers are not rotated off, not time-sliced between clients), and priced as a sustained engagement — the economics are built around retention, not rotation.
Each database serves a specific purpose for structured data, flexible documents, caching and messaging.
The team applies validation, synchronization logic, and monitoring to ensure data remains consistent across these systems.
Work is planned in two-week cycles, with scope agreed based on team capacity. Each delivery is reviewed and validated before release, and improvements are made incrementally. This approach allows new features to be introduced while keeping the system stable over time.
