Options risk management for trading desks
Your clearing firms' positions, your brokers' executions and the whole desk's risk — live, in one place, run for you.
Day one: Send us yesterday's start-of-day file; see your whole desk's risk before you sign.
Built by the founder of Derivix, acquired by FlexTrade.
The loop
A desk runs the same loop all day: work an order, see the position, see the risk, trade again. Most desks run it across three or four systems with a spreadsheet holding them together. Lavender is the whole loop on one screen.
From the risk screen to your own executing brokers, through their algorithms. A trader confirms every order.
Start-of-day positions from each clearing firm and real-time drop copy of the fills, current all day.
Dollar greeks across the book, scenarios on your own shocks, margin with headroom. Then you trade again.
The whole desk's book
Greeks in dollars, dividend-aware and early-exercise-aware. Opening and day P&L, and P&L explained by greek over the day, the week and the month. Scenarios on your own shock sets, historical stress, and Monte Carlo with the 5% tail loss. Reg T and haircut margin with headroom, before and after any trade, and portfolio margin estimated for the accounts you name.

Whole-book greeks, grouped the way the desk thinks. Desk-wide risk →
Your own shock ladders, stress and Monte Carlo. Scenarios and stress →
The montage, the surface, and your own marks on it. Volatility →
Trading
Orders go through your executing brokers and their algorithms. The hedge each name needs is sized from the book and staged on a ticket. Hedging algorithms from our execution partners keep an option's delta inside a band. Price an idea into the book and see what it does before you send it.
Run for you
We connect your clearing firms and executing brokers, and we host your FIX sessions, for execution and drop copy. Always on, redundant, with a secondary standing by; each release proven on the secondary first. Upgrades when you choose — never under you mid-session.
Each trader sees and trades only the accounts you give them; a risk manager sees everything and trades nothing.
