A real-time risk dashboard for an arbitrage desk, built on its settlement ERP
Sykes & Ray Equities already runs settlements in an internal ERP we built. Phase 1 adds a risk management dashboard for the arbitrage desk: real-time positions, exposure, margin, payoff curves and position sizing.
Sykes & Ray Equities· Equities and ArbitrageWhat they were running on
- Positions and exposure pieced together from terminals and sheets
- Margin and payoff reviewed after the fact, not live
- Risk views separate from the settlement data the desk trusts
Why it had to change
Arbitrage runs on thin margins and fast decisions. The desk needed one live view of risk, built on the settlement data it already trusted, not another tool to reconcile.
The system, on their own server
Real-time positions, exposure and margin across the desk
Payoff curves and position sizing for each strategy
Text-first interface: ask about risk in plain language
Built on the settlement ERP that computes margin interest, statutory charges and profit sharing
How it went live
No cut-over risk: the dashboard reads from the settlement ERP the desk already uses, so it goes live alongside existing workflows.
