Frequently Asked Questions

Metals trading risk management software gives trading desks and risk teams real-time visibility into their LME and OTC positions, P&L and exposure across base metals markets. It automates trade capture, calculates VaR, MTM and margin, and replaces manual spreadsheet processes with a structured, auditable risk environment. Loqsea is an LME ISV approved, cloud-based CTRM platform built specifically for metals derivatives trading firms.

LME ISV approval means Loqsea is validated by the London Metal Exchange to connect directly to LME market data and trading infrastructure. For metals trading firms this means accurate real-time LME position data, native prompt date handling, LME averaging support and direct connectivity, rather than approximations that non-specialist platforms use for LME instruments.

Loqsea supports direct FIX connectivity to the London Metal Exchange alongside ICE, CME, SGX, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT. As an LME ISV approved platform, Loqsea provides validated direct connectivity to LME infrastructure. Electronic trades are captured automatically the moment they are executed across all supported metals venues.
