LME curve valuation

Valuation runs across the LME forward curve in real time, including broken dates. LME curves are not always linear, so interpolation remains an approximation of the market. The calculation runs inside the platform against live prices.

Exchange margin

Margin for LME, SGX, ICE and CME is calculated in one place and updated as prices move. No manual builds. No lag between market moves and your margin position.
