TradeLocker Risk Management & Dealing Services
TradeLocker is where a large share of newer prop firms and modern brokers now run their funded and live products. The platform is quick to launch on, which means most teams reach meaningful trading volume long before they have a risk desk. Verix monitoring uses read-only API access for payout review and abuse investigation. Where Deltar's mandate includes active dealing, hedging, routing or platform administration, the required permissions are agreed in advance, restricted to the documented responsibilities and defined during onboarding.
API Integration and Permissions
Because TradeLocker is API-first, integration is lighter than on a traditional server platform. We connect to your brand through API credentials and stream accounts, groups, positions, order events and equity history into Verix. Verix monitoring connects through read-only access. Where the agreed mandate is monitoring, recommendation and escalation only, no operational permissions are required. Where the engagement includes active dealing, hedging or platform administration, the required permissions are defined in advance, restricted to the agreed responsibilities and documented during onboarding. Deltar never takes custody of client funds.
Exposure and Rule Monitoring
On the risk side we watch aggregate exposure across funded and live accounts together, because a funded book that all trades the same setup behaves like one large position rather than many small ones. On the rule side we watch daily loss and maximum drawdown thresholds, minimum trading days, prohibited instruments and news windows, and lot-size ceilings. Breaches are flagged as they occur, with the trade records attached, so the decision your team takes later is based on evidence rather than reconstruction.
- Aggregate exposure across funded and live accounts
- Daily loss and maximum drawdown enforcement
- Prohibited instrument and news-window checks
- Evidence attached to every flagged breach
Routing and Book Structure
Firms on TradeLocker usually run a simulated funded book alongside a live book, and the interesting question is which flow deserves to reach the market. We help define that split by symbol, account tier and consistency of the trader behind it, then operate the resulting policy: A-book candidates confirmed hedged, B-book residual measured against ceilings, hybrid splits reviewed as traders scale. Every routing change is logged and appears in the daily report.
Payout Review and Abuse Detection
Payouts are where a funded programme either holds or leaks. Each request is run through our abuse checks and against your rulebook, and returned with a recommendation, the reasoning and the underlying trades. We look for hedging between accounts, latency and news-spike exploitation, tick-scalping, copy trading across identities, martingale recovery and single operators behind multiple funded accounts. Full detail on the methodology sits on our prop firm payout review service page.
- Payout requests checked against your rulebook
- Group hedging and copy-trading detection
- Latency, news-spike and tick-scalping checks
- Written recommendation with evidence, decision stays yours
[24/7 or 24/5] Coverage and Reporting
Funded traders are global and they trade at unsociable hours, which is exactly when an unwatched book takes its losses. Our operators provide continuous coverage in rotating shifts with written handovers, and treat major data releases and weekend gap risk as named playbook items. You receive a daily written report covering exposure, rule breaches, payout recommendations and platform incidents, plus a weekly review to keep the rulebook and limits aligned with how your programme is actually being traded.
Pricing
Engagements open with a fixed-scope Health Check at $1,000 covering your rules, limits, payout process and detection gaps, delivered in writing and yours to keep. Ongoing coverage is a monthly retainer scoped to active account volume, payout frequency, symbol range and shift requirements. The fee is agreed before we start and reviewed quarterly, with no per-payout or volume-linked charges.
