Radar’s enhanced Network Alerts give brokers unprecedented visibility into traders hedging positions across multiple brokers, exposing coordinated strategies that were previously hidden from view. With real-time alerts and intuitive visualisations, dealing and risk teams can identify high-risk traders faster and act before losses occur.

Radar’s four new features give dealing and risk teams a clearer view of exposure, related accounts and positions held with liquidity providers. Real-time alerts and analysis of book switches help teams identify issues sooner and assess the financial impact of their routing decisions.

30% of broker P&L is being lost to only 1% of their clients. The future of risk management depends on identifying this small proportion of sharp and abusive traders capable of extracting millions while representing only a fraction of the client base. The result is a growing blind spot: brokers are trying to detect network-level behaviour using only account-level data.

Just 1% of winning retail trading accounts took home 66.5% of all client profits generated across the retail FX and CFD industry over the past year, according to new data shared with Finance Magnates by iSAM Securities. The figures come from Radar, iSAM Securities' risk analytics platform, which brokers use to monitor client trading activity, exposure, and profitability in real time.

Radar’s Exposure Monitor gives dealing and risk teams a real-time view of open symbol exposure against configured risk limits across trading platforms. Automated alerts and account-level drilldowns help teams quickly identify where exposure is building, when thresholds are breached and which logins are driving the position.
