Post-Trade Risk Control

Eurex Clearing has stringent post trade risk controls in place that help promote safety in the marketplace. The Risk-based Margining system is the foundation of the Clearing House's post-trade risk controls.

In addition to the end-of-day margining process to assess risk at the close of trading Eurex Clearing provides the risk data in real-time via its Enhanced Risk Solution to enable members to monitor the risk of their positions in real-time. Based on these new calculations, the Clearing House marks positions to market and demands additional or refunds excess margin payments. Thus, Eurex Clearing ensures that it has sufficient collateral to be adequately protected based on current market risk expectations.
