SOLUTIONS · RISK
Exposure you can see. Response you don't have to think about.
Real-time exposure by symbol, client, and desk. Auto-hedging rules. Client-level risk limits. Stopout with session-level audit.
Risk is the quiet discipline that separates brokerages that survive drawdowns from brokerages that don't. The industry's answer has been a risk monitor bolted onto a trading engine that doesn't know about the risk monitor. Slate's answer is a risk layer that sees every trade the moment it posts, enforces the limits you set before the order is filled, and responds automatically when exposure crosses the threshold you picked.
What you're actually exposed to, right now
Live exposure by symbol, client, desk, and broker. No refresh button.
The exposure dashboard shows the state of your book at the moment you're looking at it — not thirty seconds ago, not the last time the BI job ran. Symbol by symbol, client by client, desk by desk, aggregated up to the broker level and down to the individual trader. A sudden directional move on a high-value client shows up as a color change on the dashboard within a second of the trade.
The hedging that fires before you pick up the phone
Automated risk response: condition, threshold, action, audit.
Set the conditions you care about — net exposure on a symbol, notional on a desk, loss streak on a cohort — and set the action. Reduce margin for the cohort. Restrict trading for the client. Trigger a compliance review. Notify the risk desk. Every action is atomic, audited, and reversible. The risk desk supervises; the system acts.
Client-level risk, group-level risk
Limits that cascade through the hierarchy you already built.
Risk limits are hierarchical: per-trader, per-group, per-desk, per-broker. A group limit caps every trader in it. A broker limit caps every group. When a trader approaches their individual limit, the system throttles — not kills — their new order flow and alerts the agent. When a group limit is breached, the system enforces immediately and the risk desk sees the breach before the trader does.
When the market moves, you see it first
Stopout with session-level audit, negative balance protection, every order in the ledger.
Stopouts fire through the trading engine with session-level audit trails — every liquidation, every margin call, every negative-balance-protection event is recorded in the TimescaleDB financial ledger with the full stack of reasons. Negative balance protection is enforced at the engine, not the CRM, so no client ever owes you money they don't have. The ledger is the source of truth, seven years back.
