Pre-trade analytics: answer the question while it is still a question

The cheapest moment to discover that a trade breaks a limit, prices beneath your cost, or belongs on a different venue is before it exists. Safetifi prices a hypothetical ticket against the live book and returns the answer in one place.

What a ticket does to your book, before it does it

Enter a client, instrument, side and notional. Safetifi returns the margin spread on that trade, its marginal portfolio-margin effect after offsets against the existing book rather than standalone, the before-and-after view of net exposure, value-at-risk and liquidity, and a limit check that separates a breach this ticket would cause from one the book is already carrying.

  • Margin spread on the trade — client requirement against venue requirement
  • Marginal portfolio margin: offsets against the live book versus standalone
  • Book net exposure, VaR and liquidity, before and after
  • A limit check isolating this trade’s own contribution

Smart order routing on total cost

The cheapest venue on screen price is frequently not the cheapest venue to carry the position. Safetifi ranks venues on total cost — margin required, fee tier and funding over the intended hold — so the routing decision reflects what the trade actually costs rather than what it quotes.

Composite pricing

A composite view across the venues you face, so the reference price a decision is made against is the market you can actually reach, not a single venue’s tape.

Safetifi does not touch the order

This is deliberate. Safetifi says what a trade is worth and where it should go before it goes on; your desk and your OMS execute it. That separation is why the platform can sit across every venue you face without becoming part of the order path.

Questions

Pre-trade analytics: common questions

Evaluating a proposed trade against the live book before it is sent — its margin requirement and spread, its marginal effect on portfolio margin and risk limits, and its cost across the venues that could execute it.

No. It scores venues and checks limits before a trade is sent; the desk and the OMS execute. Safetifi never sits in the order path.

The additional margin a new trade actually requires once its offsets against the existing book are taken into account, rather than the standalone requirement it would carry on its own. The two can differ by more than half.

See it against your own book

A pilot connects one channel against a slice of your live book and reports what it finds — client by client, product by product.
