Interactive Brokers' advanced technology gives you the tools you need to manage and control your trading risk.

Risk Management

• All orders are automatically vetted on a pre-trade basis.
• We do not hold CDOs, Subprime Debt, or Credit Default Swaps.

With the exception of foreign exchange, we trade only exchange-listed products that are cleared through central clearing houses and are marked daily to external closing prices disseminated by the exchanges.

Positions and resulting payables/receivables are automatically reconciled against external sources daily.

Real-Time Margin System

Our real-time margin system continuously enforces limits for each account, automatically liquidating positions if any individual account violates its limits at any time.

Real-time data shows you requirements for initial margin (at the time of the trade) and maintenance margin (when holding positions) to help you understand your trading risk at any moment of the day and react quickly to the markets.

Risk Navigator^SM

Monitor and adjust your risk profile using the IB Risk Navigator. Part of the Trader Workstation, this free real-time market risk management platform unifies exposure across multiple asset classes around the globe.
