Integrated Risk Management and Compliance Monitoring Platform

ZagTrader's real-time risk engine and rule-based compliance framework allow institutions to detect breaches, control exposure, and meet regulatory obligations across jurisdictions.

Comprehensive risk and compliance engine built into every trade, client, and workflow.

Key Capabilities

Risk controls and compliance safeguards enforced on every order, position, and client

Pre-Trade Risk Gate
Buying power, position limits, restricted and watch lists, and exposure caps are enforced at order entry — breaches are prevented, not reported after the fact.
Live Exposure & Margin
Real-time position and exposure monitoring across clients, instruments, and counterparties, with margin ratios recomputed as prices move.
Margin Calls & Liquidation
Automatic margin-call detection and a liquidation engine that unwinds shortfalls using your broker-defined methodology — before losses compound.
Concentration Control
Concentration limits per security, group, sector, region, and counterparty keep any single position or theme from quietly dominating the book.
Trade Surveillance
Market-making liquidity-bucket metrics and order-anomaly detection surface irregular behaviour as it happens, so it never ages into a problem.
Regulatory Reporting
MiFID/EMIR-style trade reporting and CMA-aligned reporting, with restricted-security and insider/director controls enforced across the workflow.
AML & Maker-Checker
AML screening and a maker-checker control model on sensitive actions, backed by full, long-retention audit trails of who did what and when.
Kill Switch
Halt order flow instantly when something looks wrong — a single control to stop trading across the desk while you investigate.
