Risk Management software - developed and deployed at Frontline Capital Service Limited and CornerStone Securities Limited,
Task : Contain and manage the exposure risk on clients’ open trades
Software used : Visual Basic, Foxpro, MS Excel
Capabilities :
Enables the management to dynamically evaluate adequacy of margins and set limits at which auto closure of open contracts to contain the clients’ loss within the margin they have kept with the broking house.
Brief outline:
Clients’ open trades (contracts) as of previous trading day is obtained from the trading transactions data base along with their financial position, including balance to their credit, checks under collection, deliveries kept with the broker/ in-transit, auctions etc. A separate utility to the accounting software was developed to monitor auctions, in-transit deliveries in Foxpro. This info decides the further exposure / stop loss levels of the trades for each of the clients to be entered by the trader.
From the trading terminal fresh trades are saved onto a text file and this data is merged with the previous day’s open contracts. From the Reuter/ Knight Ridder (Stock Ticker agencies) prices of the stocks are saved on to MS Excel, which is converted into a table. These prices are used to measure the impact of the open contracts on the financial position converting the stocks held and all other stock related obligations at the prevalent rate. A shadow margin of 3-6% is used based on the liquidity and volatility of the stock to determine stop loss levels. These levels are fed as orders for the client to manage his open trades/ contracts.
Equity Trade Modeling software - developed and deployed at CornerStone Securities Limited,
Task : Evaluate and optimize trading strategies
Software used : Foxpro
Enables the management to dynamically evaluate trading strategies and the risks associated to derive financial benefit
Data on concluded trades from National Stock Exchange is obtained along with trade time. The data is normalized to reduce aberrations from extreme trade values. Moving average convergence and divergence was generated to yield buy/ sell triggers at various intervals. All possible combinations of moving averages were computed for period intervals of 10-200. This analysis was revisited aggregating the trades for 1, 2, 3 …60 minutes on data base of 30 days of traded values..
