Risk & Pre-Trade Control

A deeply configurable risk and pre-trade control layer built into the Modulus multi-asset trading platform, from pricing configuration to execution strategy.

Control every trade

Risk and pre-trade control puts administrators in command of everything from pricing to execution. It pairs multiple analysis techniques with customizable risk alerts and portfolio modeling, so brokers can monitor exposure in real time, take full control of trade execution, and manage the risk of off-market pricing.

Real-Time

Exposure monitoring across accounts and groups

A/B Book

Controls at client, instrument, and group levels

Kill Switch

Instant cancel-all for worst-case scenarios

Multi-Asset

Coverage across the full trading platform

Real-time exposure monitoring

Hedge client exposures automatically or directly from the exposure monitor, and enter manual hedges to keep an accurate picture when hedging on third-party platforms.

View exposure at both the currency and currency-pair level, apply advanced filtering to watch individual groups or account positions, and track overall risk through total Net Open Position. A dedicated widget keeps broker hedging positions in view.

  • Automatic or manual hedging from the exposure monitor
  • Exposure views at currency and currency-pair levels
  • Advanced filtering for groups and account positions
  • Total Net Open Position tracking
  • Dedicated broker hedging-position widget
  • Accurate accounting for third-party hedges

Execution settings and controls

Manage A/B book settings at the client, instrument, and group levels, and define smart order routing rules that send trades above a set threshold for manual execution.

Set exposure limits on accounts and instruments, throttle orders with speed bumps to manage toxic flow and latency arbitrage, and apply tiered margining for larger trade sizes. Margin settings support differing regulatory requirements at the symbol, group, and individual-client levels, while price collars automatically reject off-market trades and a kill switch cancels all orders and blocks new positions in worst-case scenarios.

  • A/B book controls by client, instrument, and group
  • Smart order routing rules with manual-execution thresholds
  • Account- and instrument-level exposure limits
  • Speed bumps against toxic flow and latency arbitrage
  • Tiered margining for larger trade sizes
  • Regulatory margin settings by symbol, group, and client
  • Price collars that reject off-market trades
  • Kill switch to cancel orders and halt new positions

Price management

A stale-quotes monitor automatically prevents clients from trading on off-market or outdated prices, and spike-filtration tools keep bad prints from reaching the book.

Automated failovers prevent pricing downtime and reduce the risk of stale pricing, keeping the platform quoting accurately even when an upstream source falters.

Account management and broker views

Everything brokers need to manage and monitor client accounts is here. Every widget pops out so teams can watch multiple accounts, groups, or metrics in real time, and account tagging lets brokers flag high-volume or abusive traders using multi-level filtering from any widget.

A trading calendar removes the friction of trading hours and market holidays: set individual or multiple sessions for one instrument or a group, scheduled in UTC, GMT, or London/New York time. Trade on behalf of clients with pending or market orders from the account, account-list, position-list, or order-list widgets, and the dealing module surfaces both client and broker views so A/B book positions and exposures stay clear.
