GlobalRisk Option Trader
Risk management for option traders...

GlobalRisk OptionTrader is a stand-alone single workstation solution designed for individual traders and risk managers monitoring a relatively small number of individual trading accounts. It is tailored to the active trader: throughout the course of a trading day it will assist you in tracking your positions, keeping on top of changing volatilities, and carefully managing your risks inside your own parameters. In addition to printing out highlighted trading sheets, OptionTrader has special input modes for getting your data into the system just as fast as the market moves.

OptionTrader gives you the tools you need

We're confident that OptionTrader will satisfy all of your needs as a professional trader: after all, coming from a trading background ourselves, it's exactly the sort of program that we would want to use! In addition to volatility calculations, skews, position analysis and account management, GlobalRisk OptionTrader / GlobalRisk OptionTrader LAN provide additional functionality that any risk manager is sure to find useful:

  • Sophisticated volatility skewing techniques that allow the user to define individual volatilities for each strike and to allow those volatilities to float with the underlying futures, stock or index price. Skews can even be smoothed using a curve-fit algorithm and are automatically graphed for you!
  • Over ten different trading sheet formats which fit most user's needs. If you don't find the sheet you're looking for, just let us know: custom trading sheet development is available.
  • Interfaces to real-time or delayed quotation retrieval services. If you use your own custom quotation retrieval service, we can even develop compatability into our program.
  • Multiple currency support, including conversion.
  • Complete support for proprietary trading groups including security and advanced grouping capabilities.
