Spotware Systems has launched Markout Report, a risk intelligence module within its cBridge liquidity bridge platform that enables FX and CFD brokers to identify potentially toxic trading flow in real time rather than after losses have already accumulated. The tool integrates execution records and tick data to flag harmful account patterns and provide trading departments with actionable insights before financial damage compounds.

  • Key feature: Continuous markout measurement and pre-trade drift monitoring throughout the trading session
  • Risk classification: Four-tier system (low, medium, high, critical) based on transparent signals including markout, pre-trade drift, decay, and consistency
  • Integrated workflow: Account flagging, investigation, analysis, and routing actions all within a single cBridge interface
  • Prioritization method: Accounts ranked by both financial impact and notional volume to focus risk teams on highest-value interventions

Most brokers conduct execution quality reviews only after trading sessions end, when losses are already locked in. Markout Report addresses this timing gap by measuring account behaviour continuously, enabling trading departments to monitor markout metrics and spot recurring patterns in real time, especially during volatile market conditions. Interactive charts visualize account-level data across configurable intervals, eliminating the need for manual trade reconstruction.

The module keeps the full investigation workflow in one place: traders can filter and scope analysis to specific instruments or account segments, categorize accounts for structured review, and pinpoint whether adverse patterns are concentrated or spread across the portfolio. Once a problematic account is confirmed, routing actions can be initiated directly within cBridge, reducing operational risk from manual data transfers and handovers between systems.

cBridge by Spotware is a platform-agnostic liquidity bridge connecting MT4, MT5, cTrader, and FIX API trading platforms to multiple liquidity providers, offering real-time price aggregation, flexible order routing, risk management controls, and exposure monitoring.
