Riskvision

An optional module of Stream Clearvision, Riskvision can prevent Stream Clearvision from accepting give-ins if one of the preset limits is breached. As a consequence, incoming give-in trades will not be claimed by Stream Clearvision.

When limits are breached, Riskvision can block the clearing of a specific client’s position. In addition, the option protection mode helps manage risk associated with options close to expiry by enabling users to block the clearing of all options received on a specific account. There is a complementary functionality in Stream Clearvision to avoid triggering Carte Blanche from a defined date before the delivery date. However, it is possible for users to bypass a limit set up in Riskvision using a password in the Stream Clearvision’s Market Watch.
