Trading Operations & Execution Oversight

• Advise on the end-to-end futures trading operations stack across multiple platforms and different asset classes.

• Advice to oversee aggregate trader activity across futures platforms to understand how the trader population behaves, sim farming detection, how profitable vs unprofitable cohorts operate, and where risk concentrates

• Advise on pattern analysis, odd-trade detection, and gamification reviews to identify behaviour inconsistent with legitimate trading and share what action is recommended.

• Translate complex findings into clear recommendations that inform rule design and risk posture.

• Advice on managing emerging risk patterns before they materialise as losses.

• Help the team create risk scoring frameworks and trader profiles to help department for the broader terms.

• Advise on A-book / B-book routing logic, internalisation strategy, and the conditions under which trader flow is hedged externally.

Risk Framework Design & Margin Oversight

• Propose the architecture of the abuse detection framework, risk parameters, and behavioural constraints that govern the trader population

• Set and review limits at instrument, asset class, client tier, and book level; advise on stress testing and scenario analysis.

• Act as the subject-matter expert for trading and risk infrastructure, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and operational resilience under stress.

• Recommend trader-profile taxonomies that segment the population by strategy, behaviour, and risk contribution.

• Design and supervise risk frameworks covering market exposure, liquidity, basis, and execution risk on the futures book.
