Brief and outcome
What was needed.
OORAFX is an MT5 broker. The MT5 platform itself is the trading engine; everything around it — onboarding, KYC, fund movement, copy trading, compliance reports — was a manual back-office spread across spreadsheets and one outsourced web app. We built the full back-office.
What came of it.
The brokerage runs its day-to-day operations through one back-office instead of four. KYC review time dropped to a fraction of the previous flow, and the team can ship pricing/configuration changes without an engineering ticket.
What was built
5 parts,
shipped.
A selection of projects shipped through Syntorium and our CTO's prior engagements.
Account lifecycle
Registration, KYC submission and review, live MT5 account creation, demo conversion.
Fund management
Deposits and withdrawals through automatic gateways and manual review queue, internal transfers between user accounts, external bank-wire reconciliation.
Copy trading
Strategy provider listings, follower configuration, performance dashboards, lifecycle hooks for paused and resumed positions.
KYC compliance
Document upload, review queue, compliance officer dashboard, jurisdiction-aware rules.
Custom MT5 client
Built on the in-house MetaFive Laravel package (also a portfolio entry) to minimize MT5 API request volume via Singleton + smart caching.
