Introducing Surge - Intelligent Book and Execution Optimisation Platform

iSAM Securities has welcomed Alexandros Papoutsas as Sales Director, strengthening its new Cyprus office in a strategic move to enhance client support across the region.

Surge enhances the groups existing risk management platform, Radar, by introducing additional intelligent analytics to inform advanced automation for A- and B-book optimisation, and execution.

Risk share models can be a powerful way for brokers to unlock value from their flow, however, they often don’t deliver on exactly what is promised. Many brokers find themselves locked into arrangements that lack clarity, consistency, or flexibility, leaving them uncertain about how revenue is generated or why payouts look the way they do.

Following our recent feature in e-Forex magazine, where James Gavin, Head of Trading Europe at iSAM Securities, discussed the evolving approach to collaboration between brokers and liquidity providers (LPs), we take a deeper look at how these relationships are shifting.

This week, we have introduced Parallax, our proprietary risk share program designed to deliver greater visibility to brokers looking to monetise their client flow without needing to invest in expensive risk infrastructure.

At iSAM Securities, we’re committed to the continuous development of all our products and delivering real value to our clients. This week marks the start of a new bi-weekly series, where we’ll share the latest enhancements to Radar, our proprietary risk management platform.
