How can brokers manage their plugins more efficiently?

Author: Dmitry Chernov

Plugins and simple applications are great for addressing the niche challenges and needs of retail brokers and hedge funds.

Instead of looking for a complex solution to replace the system you currently have and love, you get a plugin, fix whatever needs fixing, and everyone is happy.

Except for one minor detail – all those plugins require management.

And with no interface to operate in, taking care of your plugin portfolio can become a managerial disaster. But you shouldn't be afraid of that, not with the TFB Toolbox.

What is the TFB Toolbox? 

The TFB Toolbox is a single-console solution that unites all TFB plugins and application solutions in one console.

It’s designed specifically to simplify the day-to-day management of plugins, no matter how many you have installed and running. There is no need to switch between the RDP screens, folders, or files.

What does the TFB Toolbox actually do?

Providing an interface is only a fraction of what the TFB Toolbox offers our clients.

The solutions streamline the workflow with several key features:

• Quick changes are introduced to help clients make ad-hoc modifications to the solution on their terms and at their own pace.
• Live logs are available for review and download at any time.
• Built-in real-time monitoring and notifications help brokers and hedge funds stay in the know 24/7.
• The quick access section in the interface is designed to pin the most used plugins at the top to save time with daily operations.

Overall, having a single interface with bonus functionality to manage your plugins and applications allows you to maximise your tool portfolio.

Making changes is straightforward, so you can move faster and apply strategic adjustments to make the most of the market. Reporting options and monitoring via live logs help you analyse the performance ad-hoc and make instant data-driven decisions.

Simply having all the tools available in one place means you’re less likely to forget or miss something, reducing your operational risks and staying more profitable and resilient in any circumstance.

Is the TFB Toolbox secure?

Yes, the TFB team developed the TFB Toolbox internally and is fully compatible with the rest of the ecosystem.

There are several measures in place to ensure data security:

• The TFB Toolbox is installed on a separate server, preventing downtime in case of disasters.
• Users working with the TFB Toolbox don’t need access to the main server.
• Five access levels ensure administrative control and eliminate the risk of accidental or malicious misuse.
• Should something seem off or go wrong, 24/7 professional support is there to sort everything out.
• Data transmission channels are secured with Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption that eliminates eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks.
• When the Toolbox is provided as a service, server-side components are protected from unauthorised access by strict local network and Windows Firewall settings.
• Sensitive data encryption is applied to all configuration files.

What plugins are compatible with the TFB Toolbox?

There are 26 plugins and applications that the TFB Toolbox supports, and more are coming.

These solutions cover the broadest range of needs, such as:

• Risk management
• Automation
• Integration and expansion
• Client management

Some of the solutions you can manage via the TFB Toolbox are:

• The Dynamic Leverage Changer changes the margin rate of the positions and dynamically modifies the leverage of accounts where positions are opened.
• The StopOut plugin protects traders against significant losses during high volatility periods.
• The Swap Changer automatically uploads swap values of all specified symbols.
• Credit Management offers flexible campaigns for credit deposit and transferring to balance.
