Risk & Dealing Research

Automated risk technology and human dealing operations — what each is for, and where they meet.

Broker risk has two halves that are frequently confused. Software watches exposure continuously and executes rules without hesitation. People interpret situations rules cannot describe yet, and decide when a rule itself is wrong.

We keep that separation explicit throughout this research: risk engine material describes automation — monitoring, limits, hedging, routing — while dealing material describes the operational discipline of a staffed desk, including escalation, classification and judgement under pressure.

The two are complementary, not alternatives. Most durable setups automate the measurable and staff the ambiguous.
