EGAR Technology's Limits Manager allows you to set up margin, credit and delivery limits for all your customers and trading counterparts. Limits and margin requirements can be monitored through dynamic windows to permit real-time control. As market prices and open positions change, margin requirements and trading limits will be updated automatically. The Margin Manager can be configured as a module within FOCUS-SQL or integrated into your existing trading/risk management systems.

Customization - Recognizing that trading on margin may be subject to regulations in many countries and local market conventions, EGAR Limits Manager was designed with the flexibility to calculate and monitor customer margin and trading limits in several different ways.
