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.
