CFE Risk Management Tool

CFE offers TPHs and Clearing Firms the ability to manage risk profiles through the Customer Web Portal.

TPHs and Clearing Firms of CFE can request a login to the Customer Web Portal from the CFE Trade Desk. After logging into their Web Portal account, users with appropriate access will be able to select the Risk Management link to access the Risk Management upload tool.

The risk management interface for TPHs enables risk settings to be provisioned on an EFID-by-EFID basis. Risk settings can be downloaded and uploaded for individual EFIDs while leaving other EFIDs unaffected.

The default risk management interface for Clearing Firms requires that all risk settings for all EFIDs be uploaded each time risk setting changes are made. The reason for this is that Clearing Firms are allowed to apply risk settings to aggregated groups of EFIDs, and EFIDs that are part of a group cannot have their risk settings set individually. The all-EFID upload eliminates complexity and confusion that could be caused by group conflicts. As a convenience for Clearing Firms with the default configuration, the ability to download the current all-EFID settings file is provided, which Clearing Firms can edit and then upload back into the system. This approach provides a single file that can be configuration managed.

An alternative interface is made available to Clearing Firms that do not wish to use EFID groups, and instead would prefer to provision EFID risk settings individually (similar to the TPH interface). To use this mode, Clearing Firms must contact the CFE Trade Desk and request the by-EFID interface configuration.
