Sterling Trading Tech Selected As Real-Time Portfolio Margin And Risk Shocks Provider For TradingBlock

CHICAGO, Feb. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sterling Trading Tech (STT) announced today it will provide its real-time risk solution, the Sterling Risk Engine (SRE) for portfolio margin and volatility shocks to TradingBlock, a complete online broker for active traders, investors and, investment professionals.

The SRE is a cloud-based engine that continuously calculates the OCC CPM, based on TIMS methodology for each account as well as a house CPM, with capability to also set specific house rules. STT's unique model solves an industry-wide issue of accurately calculating portfolio margin, risk shocks and Reg-T intraday for complex equities and options portfolios and eliminates the need for firms to deploy costly and expensive hardware to manage in-house software.

"The need for a more comprehensive intraday risk-monitoring tool has become increasingly important due to the growing complexity of our business and, to a lesser extent, the return of extreme market volatility," states Don Ogilvie, Chief Operating Officer at TradingBlock, "Our setup and integration with Sterling was seamless."

Ravi Jain, Director of Risk & Derivatives for STT built and developed the engine internally to solve buying power issues and offer firms access to accurate calculate real-time risk intraday from any device. "The SRE can be used to evaluate a prospects' portfolio from a risk and margin viewpoint prior to making an account onboarding decision" states Ravi Jain. His 30+ years of experience in options, quantitative trading and risk management across multiple asset classes and markets has helped to successfully put Sterling on the forefront of cloud-based risk analytics.

STT provides the professional trading community with trading platforms, risk and compliance tools, and infrastructure solutions. STT platforms currently process 5% of the daily US equity volume and are used in over 30 countries to trade international financial markets around the world.
