Integrated Peer Engines & Port Bindings

All six peers boot concurrently inside a single standalone fat JAR in under 400ms. By default, they bind locally to 127.0.0.1 to guarantee zero cross-talk and complete network security.

Deep Architectural Breakdown

Engineered to Match Real Exchange Behaviors

Explore how each simulated peer processes institutional market messages and enforces real-world clearing invariants.

1. ASX CHESS ISO 20022 Clearing Engine

Replaces the need for costly ASX CDE connectivity. Implements official ISO 20022 XML messages across all four ASX release drops:

Settlement Instructions: comm_801 (bilateral), comm_802 (cancellation), sett_101 (transfer).
Batch Clearing & Netting: clrg_501 (settlement confirmation), clrg_503, clrg_504.
Subregister & HIN: acmt_001 (holder registration), hold_201, hold_205, rptg_604.

Strict schema validation rejects non-conforming XML with standard ASX error envelopes.

2. OASIS AMQP 1.0 Streaming Broker

Provides a lightweight, embedded AMQP 1.0 message broker on port 8693. Connect existing Apache Qpid Proton, Spring AMQP, or JMS clients without installing RabbitMQ or ActiveMQ.

Zero External Broker: Pure Java in-memory frame parsing and disposition management.
Link Attachment: Emulates ASX CHESS participant push queues and notification topics.
Flow Control: Handles consumer credit windows, disposition acknowledgments, and reconnections.

3. RBA RTGS / CBDC Cash Ledger

Simulates Reserve Bank of Australia interbank settlement accounts and DvP cash movements.

ISO 20022 Cash Rails: Ingests and acknowledges pacs.009 and pacs.008 credit transfers.
Batch Cash Sweeps: Coordinates multi-million AUD net DvP cash movements with CHESS batch runs.
Liquidity Shortfall Simulation: Trigger cash rejection responses to verify automated treasury fail handling.

4. ASX DCS Derivatives Clearing System

Implements the ASX DCS MCM 1.5.0 specification for exchange-traded options (ETO) and index futures clearing.

Trade Allocation: TR message intake, clearing confirmation AA responses.
Position Maintenance: Adjustments (AL/UA), Give-Ups (GU/TU), and broker take-ups.
Exercise & Assignment: SC/SM notifications and delivery obligations.
SPAN Margin Reporting: Generates initial and variation margin liability summaries.

5. Institutional CTM Block Allocation

Simulates middle-office institutional trade matching and custodian affirmation pipelines.

Block Breakdown: Matches parent block executions against child account allocation legs.
Custodian Affirmation: Emulates global custodian match/affirm statuses prior to CHESS instruction.
Step-Out Transfers: Validates executing vs. clearing broker allocation handoffs.

6. Visual Cockpit & Break Injection API

Included out of the box on port 8699. Visualizes the live state of all participant holdings, subregister balances, and pending settlement obligations.

Live Web Inspector: Zero installation browser UI to monitor message traffic and trace errors.
REST Chaos Injection: Trigger artificial network latency, dropped packets, or specific rejection codes.
Deterministic Reset: Call POST /api/seed/reset to restore initial lab state in 5 milliseconds.
