Risk Controls
Pre-trade and post-trade risk controls will be applied by the
Exchange.
Pre-trade risk controls will occur before the order is released
to the matching engine.
Post-trade risk controls will be implemented by a new
component.
This component calculates margins by using SPAN algorithm
and gives users a clearer view of their risk exposure over their
portfolios.
The pre-trade and post-trade components will always be
integrated with each other.
Pre-Trade Risk Controls
Position Limits
Position Limit Threshold
Position Limit Percentage
Cash Margin Limits
These controls are applied exclusively against depository
accounts.
Post-Trade Risk Controls
Post-trade risk component enables clients to calculate
margins and control risk of accounts efficiently with covering
the following key areas:
Real time risk calculation
Access to all data through FIX and Client Interface
Calculation and production of end of day margin files for
the clearing house
Real time determination of “Liquidation Only States” to
be fed into pre risk system
Handling the T+1 margin cycle
Pre & Post Trade Integration
A feedback loop exists between Post-trade and Pre-trade risk
components to control the risk state of a depository account, using
post trade risk results.
On receipt of an “At Risk” message from Risk Informer, the
component of pre-trade will change the risk state of the account
into “Liquidation-Only”.
When an account is in that state, account is allowed to trade only in
order to close its existing open positions.
On receipt of an “All clear” message from Risk Informer, the risk
state of the account will be changed to “Active”.
Account Structure-I
With new trading system, TurkDEX will seperate trading
accounts and depository accounts. Account types of the new
trading system are;

How They Will Work?-I
TurkDEX options are premium paid upfront option contracts.
Thus, there is no mark to market.
Margin amount is calculated according to the SPAN
margining methodology.
According to underlying price, new strike
prices are opened automatically by the system.
According to open interest, some option
contracts may be delisted at the end of the day.
How They Will Work?-II
Options traded at TurkDEX are European style options. They are exercised
at the end of the last trading day.
Options are exercised automatically if the below conditions are met:
For call options:
(Last Settlement Price of the Underlying Futures - Strike Price) * Multiplier > Option Exercise Cost
For put options:
(Strike Price - Last Settlement Price of the Underlying Futures) * Multiplier > Option Exercise Cost
Otherwise, the options will expire unexercised.
If an option is exercised, the Exchange will charge an “Option Exercise
Cost” both from the writer and the buyer of the option.
