The trading platform supports numerous trading workflows across multiple financial products. It additionally supports pre and post trade workflows. Each of these has multiple parameters and multiple workflow paths. Additionally the connecting providers each support differing subsets of the trading platform functionality and may implement functionality in different ways.

This project will have two components. The first is to provide technical documentation of how data flows through the system at a software level for each workflow.
