RealTick Introduces Features to Mitigate Risk, Offer Flexibility

The RealTick trading platform has introduced features that minimize the possibility of mistakes made using electronic trading. The new safeguards support suitability rules, which restrict traders from executing an order when violating set rules. Rules can be placed on transaction size, cost, frequency, price range, and portfolio balancing.

Among other new innovations in RealTick, which is owned by Townsend Analytics, is a risk-mitigating feature. The introduction of staged orders provides an additional safety net.
