Lavender Desk

Desk-wide risk and trading, on one screen.

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

Every handoff between systems costs time and adds error.

Most desks run the loop across three or four systems: orders in one, positions in another, risk in a third, and a spreadsheet holding it together. Lavender is the whole loop on one screen.

01 — Execute

Work the order

Orders go from the risk screen to your own executing brokers, through their algorithms. A trader confirms every one.

02 — See the position

The book updates

Start-of-day positions from each clearing firm, and real-time drop copy of the fills. Current all day, across every account.

03 — See the risk

The whole desk's exposure

Greeks in dollars across the book, scenarios on your own shock sets, margin with headroom. Then you trade again.

Desk-wide risk

The whole desk's book in one place.

  • Every trader, account and clearing firm in one book.
  • Built from your clearing firms' start-of-day positions and real-time drop copy, current all day.
  • Greeks in dollars, dividend-aware and early-exercise-aware; opening and day P&L; 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; portfolio margin, estimated for the accounts you name.
  • Pin risk and early exercise into every expiry.

Trading

Integrated risk and execution, on one screen.

Orders from the risk screen

Through your executing brokers and their algorithms. A trader confirms every order, hedges included.

The hedge each name needs

Sized from the book and staged on a ticket, so the trade you send is the one the risk asked for.

Hedging algorithms from our execution partners

A vol hedge, for one, keeps an option's delta hedged within a band — the trader confirming the order and its band.

The desk

One set of numbers, and the right people on them.

  • Each trader sees and trades only the accounts you give them; a risk manager sees everything and trades nothing.
  • Your marks — vols, dividends, rates, borrow — shared across the desk.
  • Rigorous, correct defaults out of the box; configurability sits on top of them, never instead.
  • A fill confirmed by the clearing firm shows once, marked cleared. Every order and action on the audit trail.

Volatility

The montage, the surface, and your own marks on it.

Every expiry and strike with live greeks; a fitted surface in skew, term and three dimensions, with yesterday behind today. Your desk's vol marks drive your theos and your risk.

Run for you

We connect it, and we keep it running.

We connect your clearing firms and executing brokers, and we host your FIX sessions, for execution and drop copy. We set it up and keep it running: always on, redundant, with a secondary standing by; each release proven on the secondary first.

Upgrades when you choose

Never under you mid-session.

The right people on the book

Each trader sees and trades only the accounts you give them; a risk manager sees everything and trades nothing.

Brokers and clearing

We support a number of executing brokers and clearing firms. Reach out to onboard your preferred partners.

Market data: the risk features in Lavender require no outside market data, but live trading and intraday P&L require market data from one of our supported market data vendors.

One engine, every screen

Terminal, Gateway and Desk run on the same numbers, so the risk screen and the risk API cannot diverge. Battle-tested across every tier.

Both, done well

See your own book before you sign anything.

Send us yesterday's start-of-day file; see your whole desk's risk before you sign. Then a parallel run against your current system, for as long as it takes to trust the numbers.

Every message reaches a person, and every message gets an answer. For every desk.

Options risk management for trading desks. One engine behind Lavender Desk, Terminal, Gateway and Discord.
