Pro-Mark makes a virtue of speed at all levels. For example, speed of navigation and order entry, and speed of cancellation, amendment, fill receipt, throughput and handling.

Risk Solutions

Patsystems offers comprehensive pre-trade and post-trade risk management solutions.

The solutions ensure that traders can operate according to parameters specified by risk administrators, who, in turn, are able to access all the information necessary to maintain control of the trading community they are responsible for managing.

Patsystems' standalone, multi-asset class risk management solutions include:

• Risk Alert for pre-trade risk management
• Risk Informer for post-trade risk management

Platform Independence, Multi-Asset Capability

Both Risk Alert and Risk Informer are trading-platform independent and do not require an existing Patsystems installation. All that’s required is the ability to communicate with the Patsystems host system. Our platform-independence allows for easy integration with any system, including FIX-based systems.

No matter which asset classes you trade, Risk Alert and Risk Informer can be integrated with your system. The default asset class is exchange-traded futures and options, but both systems support CFDs, FX, Cash Bonds and Cash Equities.

Total Control

For the ultimate risk solution, Risk Alert is designed to integrate with Patsystems’ Risk Informer. With Risk Alert and Risk Informer combined, traders have a consistent and coherent risk solution that provides total control and total flexibility, so traders can take on more business with confidence.
