Subscribe to our newsletter

Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT) has introduced Pre-Trade Portfolio Risk on its trading platform, offering enhanced pre-trade risk controls for sell-side firms. Unveiled ahead of the FIA IDX conference in London, the new functionality allows firms to assess a client’s worst-case margin position in real time, ensuring adequate buying power before order execution.

This tool mirrors the risk calculations used by clearing houses, enabling futures commission merchants (FCMs) to manage client exposure with greater precision. It supports multiple exchange risk protocols, including SPAN, PRISMA, and value-at-risk models, across over 20 leading derivatives exchanges. The system uses real-time risk parameter files from exchanges and can be applied flexibly at any account level within the TT platform.
