Trading (Front Office)

Front office users require a versatile and powerful tool to support trading activities and better, faster decision-making.

Calypso Workstation meets these requirements by providing a comprehensive cross-asset front-office trading module with an intuitive user-interface enabling dealers to readily analyze and display information that supports better and faster decision-making. The result is efficient real-time cross-asset trading and management, including pricing, analytics, product structuring, pre-deal checking, trade capture, position management, P&L and desk-level risk in a single unified view. 

From high volume flow-trading in simple instruments to low volume trading of complex structures and hybrids, Calypso Workstation provides full support for all vanilla and exotic products, using out-of-the-box market standard risk analytics to price, run ‘what-if’ simulations, measure and quantify portfolio risk. Calypso Workstation meets the special needs of front office users across a diverse range of financial institutions — from banks to hedge funds to corporates.

Calypso Workstation works as a super-efficient thin-client layer on top of Calypso’s high-performance multi-tier architecture — delivering high performance service to any number of dealers in multiple locations on any scale.

Calypso Workstation’s Speed Buttons enable users to perform tasks rapidly, like running risk analyses, initiating standard trades, running ‘what-if’ simulations and risk summaries, drilling down, identifying risk factors and explaining changes. Through this robust module, users can exercise a wide range of controls:

• View single unified Position-P&L-Risk view, updated in real-time for new market data and trades
•  Focus on specific analytics and P&L numbers
• Use standard reports or build custom report templates.

Calypso Workstation provides the functionality front office users require for efficient real-time cross-asset trading, and management ― out-of-the-box.
