Gold-i, a global leader in foreign exchange and cryptocurrency trading technology, has added new features to its advanced risk management solution, Visual Edge, to help clients quantify risk exposure and assess potential losses and vulnerabilities in various market conditions.
Aimed at broker-dealers and regulated funds, Visual Edge’s new features provide advanced portfolio analytics, historical value-at-risk (VaR), conditional value-at-risk (CVaR), Monte Carlo planning simulations, stress testing, and negative balance protection (NBP) analysis, enabling broker-dealers to make informed risk decisions based on real-time exposure data.
Historical VaR and CVaR analysis: The platform calculates value at risk (VaR) and conditional value at risk (CVaR) at the portfolio level using configurable lookback periods and confidence levels. Financial institutions can analyze risk using multiple historical windows to better understand potential losses under various market conditions.
Resistance tests: Financial institutions can model the impact of significant market events on client portfolios and accounts, using both historical and user-defined stress scenarios. Risk managers can assess how extreme price movements would affect exposures, profitability and capital requirements.
Negative balance protection analyses: Financial institutions can better understand the potential exposure arising from accounts receivable with negative equity. The metrics – including the number of customers likely to have negative balances, total exposure to negative balances, and the number of customers falling below predefined equity thresholds – help companies identify risk concentrations and assess the potential financial impact of significant market movements.
Tom Higgins, CEO of Gold, said: “As market volatility continues to increase, FX and digital asset brokers face increasing pressure to understand not only their current exposure, but also the impact of extreme market events on client accounts and broker capital. Our new Visual Edge risk capabilities make scenario planning easier, providing a comprehensive framework for measuring portfolio risk for individual clients, client groups and enterprise-wide portfolios.
“Brokers need timely, accurate and actionable risk analytics to protect their businesses and their clients. By combining VaR, CVaR, stress testing and negative balance protection analytics within our existing risk management tool, we provide clients with a comprehensive view of client risk and broker exposure, including the ability to identify vulnerabilities before they become real issues.
Visual Edge, which is easily integrated with MT4/MT5, DXtrade and other trading platformsprovides unrivaled insight into client trading performance, enabling multi-asset brokers to manage risk, maximize the efficiency of their trading operations and increase profitability. It stands out for its powerful visual analytics capabilities, scalper detection feature, and ability to provide comprehensive real-time monitoring of a broker’s trading operations, including exposure and P&L. This allows them to make informed decisions about which guests to book in A and which to book in B.
The technology provides a very clear view of which clients are making profits and which clients are making losses, while also allowing brokers to identify whether profits or losses are specific to certain trade types or groups and how consistent these trends are over time.
Visual Edge transforms complex market and portfolio data into clear, actionable risk metrics that support risk management teams, trading desks, compliance functions, senior management and board-level reporting. These measures can also help regulated entities meet their regulatory requirements. The platform supports thousands of accounts while providing rapid risk calculations suitable for both operational monitoring and management reporting.
