Auto-hedging B-book exposure: define the dealer workflow
Map exposure rules, destinations, execution results and reconciliation before configuring broker hedging tools.
Define the dealer's policy before automating a hedge
Hedging software needs an explicit operational rule: what exposure is measured, which threshold triggers an action, where that action is sent and how the dealer confirms its result. The workflow should remain understandable when a provider rejects or delays a request.
Make the configuration reviewable
Separate account and group policy from instrument-specific rules. Record the intended destination and the conditions under which an operator intervenes. Review the selected configuration with the people who will monitor it during trading hours.
Follow an action end to end
| Step | Review question |
|---|---|
| Observe | Which account, group or symbol data drives the decision? |
| Decide | Which configured rule applies to this exposure? |
| Route | Which destination receives the hedge request? |
| Confirm | How is a rejection, partial result or successful action represented? |
| Reconcile | Can the resulting account state be checked against the request? |
Connect the tool to the wider stack
BrokerTech's MT5 product family includes BBookRisk and dealing tools, while bridge and platform products handle their own connectivity and routing scope. These are separate configuration areas, even when they support the same dealing operation.
The CRM provides account and operational context. It should not be treated as a substitute for validating the trading-system result. Agree the dealer's view, alerting expectations and escalation path during implementation.
Use a scoped technical demonstration
Bring the platform setup, group structure, required destinations and intended rules. We will identify the relevant product, demonstrate the available controls and document any additional work. A software configuration does not remove market or execution risk.
