Introducing Navia Backup: An Emergency-Mode Trading Safety Net
Investment and trading platforms today are highly complex. They rely on a chain of technologies — from exchange connectivity through leased lines, to Order Management Systems (OMS), Risk Management Systems (RMS), cloud-hosted applications, and internet-facing security layers. While we put enormous effort into ensuring reliability and redundancy at every stage, the reality is that a disruption at any single point in this chain can cause temporary trading difficulties.
At Navia, we have invested years in building robust systems, introducing multiple layers of failover, and strictly adhering to SEBI’s disaster recovery and resilience frameworks — some of the most stringent in the world.
In addition to these safeguards, we are now introducing Navia Backup — a completely independent emergency mode for your trading needs.
What is Navia Backup?
Navia Backup is a standalone, lightweight application that gives you the ability to:
Square off open positions across all segments
This system is fully independent of our trading infrastructure, AWS hosting, OMS, RMS servers, and even exchange leased lines. It is designed as a last-resort safety net, providing you with the ability to exit the market even if the primary Navia systems face an unlikely failure.
How Navia Backup Works?
🔸 Independent Infrastructure – Runs outside AWS, OMS, RMS, and leased-line systems.
🔸 In-App Convenience – Located in the Tools section of the Navia All-in-One app, accessible with just one tap.
🔸 Alternate Access Points – In the rare case where app login is also impacted, Navia Backup can be accessed via:
➔ Guest login on the APP
➔ Directly from the Navia website
🔸 Always-On – The application runs continuously. In the event of a disruption the square-off position function will be activated, ensuring you can quickly close your market exposure.
Why Not Just Another Trading App?
➱ Trading platforms are inherently complex, with dependencies across multiple systems. Replicating them for backup introduces the same risks into the new platform.
➱ By design, Navia Backup avoids these complexities — keeping the emergency system simple, robust, and independent.
➱ The goal is not to replicate trading features, but to provide you with a reliable safety net to exit your positions when it matters most.
Limitations
Navia Backup is strictly for emergency scenarios.
➔ You cannot place new orders.
➔ You cannot view holdings, margins, or market depth.
➔ Only squaring off positions at market are supported.
➔ It does not replace our core OMS, RMS, or exchange systems, but provides redundancy over our primary app and infrastructure.
How to Use Navia Backup?
In-App Access
Open the Navia All-in-One App → Go to Tools → Tap Navia Backup.
