Risk Management Tool

Customers can request a login to the Customer Web Portal from the Cboe Trade Desk. After logging into their Customer Portal account, users with appropriate access will be able to select the Risk Management link under Cboe Exchange Tools in the lower left menu of their account page.

Selecting this link will take the user to the tool. Features available within the Equities Risk Management Tool include the following.

• The ability to download a file containing the current risk limits that are in place for today’s trading or the next trading day.
• The ability to upload a risk file to change the defined risk limits. The upload can be effective immediately or the next trading day.
• The ability to clear existing risk rules at the start of the next trading session.
• The ability to delegate risk limit settings to a clearing firm or take back control of risk settings from a clearing firm.
• The ability to configure which email addresses will receive notifications when certain thresholds are met.

Modification to a subset of rules must also include all existing rules for a particular firm's profile upload. Otherwise, existing rules omitted in the upload will be deleted.
