•What platform can ActiveMargin™ run on? |
|
ActiveMargin™ can run on all Wintel platforms and uses the SQL Server database. Since the ActiveMargin™ interface is a standard TCP/IP, it is not necessary for the third party systems to also run on the same platform. The order routing system or the back-office, for instance, could well run on a Unix platform. With the obvious exceptions of the operating system and the database, ActiveMargin™ requires no third party run time licenses.

| • How does the ActiveMargin™ architecture permit scalability? |
|
ActiveMargin™ is designed to run on parallel systems. The more the number of instances of the online risk engine, better the online performance. But you will be surprised at the speed that ActiveMargin™ can work at, even with a single instance of the engine running. To handle cases where the trading intensity is very large, the architecture provides for scaling out.

| • How does ActiveMargin™ interface with third party systems? |
|
The ActiveMargin™ API is well documented, and is implemented on top of a standard TCP/IP protocol. Chella Software engineers will help integrate ActiveMargin™ with third party systems in a smooth and rapid manner. To provide distinctive advantage, the API has been designed with flexibility in mind, and we can customize the API, if required.

|
| • Does ActiveMargin™ maintain an audit trail of the validations done? |
|
Yes. ActiveMargin™ provides a detailed trace facility that records the decision making process of ActiveMargin™ at the time of every validation. This serves as a detailed audit log and also doubles as a good tool that helps the user understand the internal working of the ActiveMargin™ engine.

|
| •How secure is ActiveMargin™ from tampering? |
|
ActiveMargin™ is a very secure system, with the following levels of access restrictions :
- Logon level (requires user name and password)
- Menu Access Level (requires permission to launch a menu)
- Activity Level (requires permission to perform certain actions like deletion of information, within a screen)
In addition, all actions performed within ActiveMargin™ are logged for later reporting. |
