BJF Trading Group — Professional Arbitrage & Execution Software Since 2000

Who we are

BJF Trading Group is the operating brand of 2202934 Ontario Inc., a Canadian software company that has been developing professional trading tools for more than two decades. We are headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, and serve a worldwide community of retail traders, introducing brokers, prop desks and small institutional teams who compete on execution quality rather than prediction.

Unlike generic EA shops, we specialise in the narrow, technically demanding corner of the market where milliseconds, spreads and broker microstructure decide profitability: latency arbitrage, two-leg and one-leg arbitrage, news spike trading, pair arbitrage, FIX-API execution, trade copying and market-data feeds.

Our software has been battle-tested against live broker feeds, on VPS stacks in LD4, NY4, and TY3 data centers, and across every major standard trading platform shipped since 2008. That history gives us a perspective few competitors can claim.

Our story

2000 — early research

BJF Trading Group starts as a research initiative run by founder Boris Fesenko, at the time a telecoms engineer fascinated by the latency characteristics of early electronic FX venues. The first tools are internal prototypes for quote-feed comparison and broker-spread analytics.

2008–2012 — first commercial arbitrage products

As standard retail trading platforms become the dominant FX interfaces, BJF releases one of the earliest commercial latency-arbitrage expert advisors. The product evolves through dozens of builds in response to the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between arbitrageurs and broker risk desks.

2013–2018 — incorporation and product suite

The business is formally incorporated in Ontario, Canada as 2202934 Ontario Inc., operating under the trade name BJF Trading Group. The product line expands to cover news trading, trade copying, and a low-level FIX-API trading terminal used by professional traders who bypass standard platforms entirely.

2019–2024 — crypto arbitrage and HFT tooling

We extend our arbitrage know-how from FX into crypto spot and futures, launching the VIP Crypto Arbitrage stack and a free Crypto Arbitrage Scanner used by tens of thousands of traders worldwide. During this period our research is cited on academic platforms including Academia.edu and ResearchGate.

2025–present — the execution-edge platform

Today BJF Trading Group is consolidating its FX, crypto and news products into a single execution-edge platform, with a focus on transparency of results, proper broker-style quote auditing, and educational content aimed at more advanced traders.

What we build

Our software addresses a single underlying problem — inefficiencies in broker execution and cross-venue pricing — from different angles:

Mission and expertise

Our mission is simple: turn broker-side inefficiencies into measurable edge for the trader, without hype and without dependency on prediction.

We focus the company on five deep specialisations:

• Arbitrage engineering — latency, two-leg, one-leg, triangular and pair strategies across FX and crypto.
• News-driven execution — handling the milliseconds around macro events where most retail systems fail.
• Broker microstructure — understanding A-book / B-book behaviour, last-look, requotes and plug-in risk filters.
• Low-latency infrastructure — VPS selection, cross-connects, FIX adapters and quote-feed aggregation.
• Trader education — teaching advanced traders how arbitrage actually works, where it stops working, and why.

Where most competitors are marketing shops that outsource code, BJF Trading Group is primarily an engineering organisation. Our owner still reviews the architecture behind every core product.

Leadership

BJF Trading Group was founded and is led by Boris Fesenko, a Canada-based software engineer and trading-systems author with a background in telecoms, network engineering and quantitative research. Boris has spent more than 20 years developing arbitrage and execution software and has published work on forex and crypto microstructure on Academia.edu and ResearchGate.

He remains directly involved in product design, code review and strategic decisions, and is the named author of the company’s research and long-form content. This single point of accountability is, in our view, one of the reasons clients continue to trust BJF over anonymous vendor brands.

Clients and global reach

Our tools are used by three broad groups of market participants:

1. Advanced retail traders looking to graduate from signal-based trading into systematic, execution-driven strategies.
2. Introducing brokers and small prop desks who need reliable arbitrage and news-trading infrastructure they can deploy and support themselves.
3. Technical teams at brokerages and HFT boutiques who license components such as the FIX-API terminal, trade copier or quote-feed adapters.

We support clients in English, Russian, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Spanish, with localised versions of our site available at /de/, /ja/, /zh/, /ko/ and /es/.

Why clients choose BJF Trading Group

• Depth over breadth. We do a small number of things — arbitrage, news, execution — and we do them at a level most generalist vendors can’t match.
• Engineering ownership. Core code is written and maintained in-house, not resold from a marketplace.
• Transparent education. Our site openly explains when arbitrage stops working, which brokers filter plug-ins, and where edge erodes — information most vendors hide.
• Named accountability. A real Canadian company, a real incorporated entity (2202934 Ontario Inc.), and a named founder who publishes under his own name.
• Longevity. We have survived three broker-technology generations (modern multi-asset platforms → cTrader/FIX) and two crypto cycles, shipping updated tools every year.
