Lavender Desk¶

Desk-wide risk and trading, on one screen¶

Your clearing firms' positions, your brokers' executions and the whole desk's risk — live, in one place, run for you.

See every feature, or read the Desk FAQ.

The whole desk's book in one place: every trader, account and clearing firm.
Built from your clearing firms' start-of-day files and drop copies, current all day.
Greeks in dollars, independently computed, dividend-aware and early-exercise-aware; P&L explained by greek, opening and day-trade P&L.
Scenarios on your own shock sets, historical stress, and Monte Carlo with the 5% tail loss.
Haircuts and Reg T margin, with a what-if for any trade; portfolio margin, estimated for the accounts you name.
Pin risk and early exercise into every expiry.

Orders from the risk screen through your choice of executing brokers; a trader confirms every order, hedges included.
Hedging algorithms from our execution partners; the trader confirms each order and its band.
Card trades beside the real book and see what they do before you send them.
The hedge each name needs, sized from the book.

Each trader sees and trades only the accounts you give them; a risk manager sees everything.
Your marks — vols, dividends, rates — shared across the desk.
Rigorous, correct defaults out of the box; configurability sits on top of them, never instead.
A fill confirmed by the clearing firm shows once, marked cleared. Every order and action on the audit trail.

We set it up, connect your clearing firms and executing brokers, and keep it running.
Always on: redundant, with a hot secondary standing by; each release proven on the secondary first.
Upgrades when you choose — never under you mid-session.
Your positions and trades are kept apart from every other firm's; only the people you name see them.
The risk features in Lavender require no outside market data, but live trading and intraday P&L require market data from one of our supported market data vendors.

We support a number of the widely used executing brokers and a select list of clearing firms — tell us yours.

Terminal, Gateway and Desk run on the same numbers, so the risk screen and the risk API cannot diverge. Battle-tested across every tier.

Lavender Terminal — whole-book risk for the individual trader on a retail broker, with paper trading.
Lavender Gateway — the same numbers through an API, for quants and their systems.
Lavender Discord — try the analytics free, in chat.
Lavender Enterprise — your inputs, your methodology, your risk. Customized, secured, integrated, and bespoke to your desk.
