Systems and Methods for Product-Level and Contract-Level Risk Computations and Management

摘要

Various systems and methods are described herein for product-level and contract-level risk checks. The product-level and contract-level risk checks are used to either allow or prevent a trading strategy to proceed. When a trading strategy is initiated, quoting and hedge orders to be entered in relation to the trading strategy are grouped based on their association with the same contract or the same product. Then, a long position and a short position are determined for each quoting order on order quantities of a quoting order and each hedge order that is triggered by the quoting order at the product level and the contract level. The long or short position that are contributed by the hedge orders of each quoting order may then be offset by the quantity of the quoting order in the same product or the same contract. The computed values are then used to determine the worst case net product position and/or worst case contract position for the trading strategy.
