Cboe Silexx, a professional multi-asset trading platform widely used by institutional and proprietary trading desks, has announced a key update: the removal of its longstanding nightly restart process. The change is designed to improve platform reliability, accessibility, and overall performance.

Continuous Access for Global Traders

Historically, the platform required nightly restarts, which resulted in short downtimes and potential disruptions, particularly for prop traders operating in non-U.S. time zones or overnight strategies. With the new update, Cboe Silexx will now run continuously, enabling 24/5 uninterrupted access to trading functionality.

The change is expected to benefit high-frequency and active traders who rely on stable, always-on infrastructure. According to Cboe, this update eliminates one of the most common workflow interruptions for users.

Why It Matters for Prop Firms

Uninterrupted access can be a competitive edge for proprietary trading firms, especially those with traders across multiple regions. The update:

• Removes downtime during critical market hours in Asia and Europe
• Reduces the risk of missed trades or strategy gaps due to restarts
• Improves platform readiness and latency consistency overnight

This is particularly relevant for firms trading futures, options, or global equity derivatives that require constant market connectivity.

A Step Toward Full Institutional Grade Infrastructure

This update comes alongside other improvements recently made to Cboe Silexx, including order ticket upgrades, portfolio enhancements, and improved integration with back-office systems.

The removal of nightly restarts reflects Cboe’s commitment to delivering institutional-grade reliability—a must-have for prop firms looking to scale without operational hiccups.
