Lithos StormCloud
Lithos StormCloud demonstrates how 28Stone tech, powered by Cloud9 and OpenFin, can organically and intuitively improve upon a common, trading use case.
Let's talkProject overview28Stone’s Lithos StormCloud application aims to show what’s possible when integrating cutting edge technologies like Cloud9 and OpenFin into a classic, voice trading workflow. Set in the context of an Interdealer Voice Broker, StormCloud allows Brokers to view markets and top of book order owners, select the ID of any one of those owners and single click connect to that Trader via Cloud9.

Lithos StormCloud powered by OpenFinStormCloud creates a record of that call and inserts it into the StormCloud Speed Rack Timeline, a consolidated list of all of that Trader’s activity on the platform. Once the record is created, Brokers have the additional ability to click on that record in the Timeline and, using 28Stone’s SafeSync application, download and play back that recording to the Broker. Lithos StormCloud is just one example of how 28Stone, Cloud9 and OpenFin can power complementary tech to not just change the way business is done, but truly enable it to be done better.
Main Features of Lithos StormCloud
Market View
The StormCloud order book leverages a tile layout to display top of book prices, sizes and order owners fully disclosed to the Broker user. Total size on both the bid and offer are also clearly visualized.
Trader Activity
Lithos StormCloud integrates with a trading venue's orders and trades database allowing Brokers to view a selected Trader's market activity including active orders, canceled orders and trades.
Call History
The StormCloud Speed Rack Timeline allows Brokers to view records of incoming and outgoing calls, all within the context of a given Trader's market activity on the StormCloud platform.
Call Recordings
Brokers shall have the ability to access a call record in the StormCloud Timeline, download that record to their local environment and playback the entire call all with a single click.
Outgoing Calls

TechnologiesStormCloud brings together 28Stone's deep expertise in trading workflows, modern technologies, the OpenFin platform and Cloud9 APIs. Utilizing principles from the 28Stone Playbook, we took StormCloud from ideation to MVP in 6 weeks, leveraging technologies and features detailed below, and the whole project was finished in just 6 months.
OpenFinStormCloud was built using React and TypeScript running in the OpenFin runtime. It takes advantage of OpenFin features such as multi-windows, notifications and interoperability with C9 Trader using cross application messaging over the OpenFin InterApplication Bus.
Cloud9 TechnologiesCloud9's flagship application - C9 Trader - seamlessly works with StormCloud over OpenFin. OpenFin's InterApplication Bus enables bi-directional interoperability between the applications. In addition, StormCloud leverages Cloud9 APIs to source user presence, call history and recordings.
NodeJSStormCloud's backend is powered by NodeJS using TypeScript. RESTful APIs provide the communication mechanism between the StormCloud GUI and server.
