Trade8:Risk - the pre-trade gate

The synchronous, in-env pre-trade authorization gate: Desk calls it over a direct TLS path before accepting any order mutation; it evaluates trader state, buying power (reserved notionals), and limits - never after the fact.

Use cases​

  • Synchronous authorization - the accept path waits on the decision; a rejected mutation never enters the order state machine.
  • Reserved-notional model - working orders reserve buying power; cancels and fills release it deterministically.
  • Limit management - per-trader and per-account limits mutate through the admin surface and take effect immediately (live authorization, the platform's model, applied to market risk).
