The Risk Monitor Server processes the data it receives from the data vendor and Exchange feeds, and calculates the numbers relevant for Risk Management. The Risk Monitor client programs present these numbers to you.

P&L and P&L Settled: Traders can carry over positions from the previous trading days. These positions are valued against actual price and settlement price. This results in two P&L figures.

The P&L column shows the total of the day positions and the actual day trades, valued against actual trading prices.

The P&L settled column shows the total of the start-of-day positions calculated against settlement prices, and the actual day trades against actual trading prices.

Margins: The margin calculation is based on the initial margin for outright futures contracts, which gives the user insight in the margin requirements for all accounts (number of contracts multiplied by initial margin rate).

Netliq: The real time Netliq calculation is based on the start of day Netliq value received from your back office system and the intraday P&L for an account. It gives real time insight in the current cash position for any account or combination of accounts.
