COMPARE THE WHOLE BILL
A revenue share here. A data fee there. A platform charge on every account. See how those costs add up against the Nexus bundle.

THE NEXUS BUNDLE
$180,000/ month
$35 × 5,000 traders + $5,000 Operations platform fee.
Illustrative model based on the Nexus product offering supplied October 5, 2026; not a quote or a claim about every provider. Assumes $150 monthly revenue and three accounts per trader, a 10% back-office revenue share, $35 data per trader, and $10 platform cost per account. All traders are assumed active and data-entitled. Actual vendor terms, inclusions and your usage may differ. Payment, payout, verification and other separately billed fees are excluded from both sides.
THE DETAILS BEHIND THE PRICE
Trading, data, CRM, risk, payouts, fraud and support. The full capability overview gives your team the detail to evaluate Nexus together.
No. There are no setup fees for Operations, Nexus Connect, standalone Onyx or the bundle. The $5,000 recurring monthly platform fee applies only to deployments that include Operations. Separately scoped custom development and third-party fees remain separate.
Nexus Connect and Onyx have no minimum — at 10 entitled users, Connect is $200 a month, and at 10 active traders Onyx on its own is $100. Any deployment including the Operations Platform carries the $5,000 monthly platform fee, which is the floor regardless of trader count. None of the three carries a percentage-of-revenue component; we do not take a share of your evaluation sales.
For the Operations Platform and Onyx, an active trader: one who placed at least one order during the billing month, not accounts provisioned and not accounts sold. For Nexus Connect, an entitled user: one entitled to the live market-data feed during the month, whether or not they traded. In both cases one person with several accounts counts once.
No. The Operations Platform is $20 per active trader per month on its own, Nexus Connect is $20 per entitled user on its own, and Onyx on its own is $10 per active trader. The $35 rate is a discount on taking everything, not a requirement. Note the $5,000 platform fee applies to Operations either way — Connect and Onyx on their own avoid it.
Yes. Nexus Connect is the data feed and SIM trading, and every Connect trader gets both trading UIs — Nexus Trader and Onyx — on the same accounts, so a Connect deployment does not pay for Onyx separately. The standalone $10 price is for firms that take their market data from Rithmic or Ironbeam and want Onyx as the front-end. Onyx keeps its own site at onyx-trader.com.
The per-trader rate is the published rate; volume arrangements exist at scale and are written into the contract rather than applied silently. The $5,000 platform fee does not scale down at volume — it is a floor, not a tier.
The market data supporting the simulated evaluation environment is included in Nexus Connect. Additional venues or entitlement scope beyond your program's standard requirement are quoted separately, because those carry exchange costs we cannot absorb generically. See market data.
That depends entirely on your engineering cost, and the honest comparison includes the operations headcount both options need. The price calculator shows exactly what Nexus costs at your trader count; the rest of the comparison is your own engineering and operations cost.
