Being in a regulated environment with lots of peoples money should make it harder and take longer to redesign and implement anything. I don’t see a complete redesign of a non-trivial part of a trading platform happening in a week.

That’s before outages, priority now is to restore service ASAP, whatever it takes.

Your literal quote was "This should be fixed within days even if it means redesigning the entire system". And my position is, being a regulated financial service, it's probably not reasonable to redesign (and build, test, deploy etc) a system in days.
