Risk and Revenue Management

Markup Management Tools - Built-in pricing controls allow clients to configure spreads and commission structures when offering trading to their end customers. Flexible markup rules support tiered pricing, volume discounts, and custom fee schedules.

Margin Financing - Credit facilities for leveraged trading enabling clients to amplify trading capacity. Risk-managed margin programs with real-time position monitoring and automated margin calls.

Cross-Margining - Portfolio-based margining across multiple positions and asset types optimizes capital efficiency. Netting of offsetting positions reduces overall margin requirements.
