Pre-Trade Limits

Status Draft briefPart Risk and Operations

Pre-trade controls reject or constrain orders using current and outstanding exposure, price, quantity, credit, message rate, and operational state.

Central questions

  • Which checks apply per order, instrument, strategy, account, and firm?
  • What state must include unacknowledged or resting orders?
  • Which unavailable input causes fail-closed behavior?

Planned model

Pass orders through layered limits while changing positions, prices, outstanding quantities, and session state. Show the exact reason and state for every decision.
