Loqsea is cloud-based only. The cloud-based model means firms can deploy without lengthy implementation projects and the platform scales with trading activity.

Start with the instruments the desk actually trades, since platforms built around physical commodity flows carry workflows a derivatives book will not use. Check exchange connectivity against your venues, whether risk data updates during the session or overnight, and what implementation involves. For desks trading futures, options, ETD and OTC, a derivatives-focused platform avoids paying for coverage that goes unused.
Desks running commodity derivatives generally choose between an enterprise CTRM covering both physical and derivatives, a spreadsheet-based setup, or a derivatives-focused platform such as Loqsea's Risk Manager. The right choice depends on whether the desk trades physical commodities, how quickly risk data is needed during the session, and what implementation the firm can absorb.
The right platform depends on instruments traded, exchange coverage and how quickly risk data is needed during the session. Hedge funds and CTAs running derivatives books typically prioritise real-time position and margin data, automated trade capture through FIX connectivity, and deployment without a long implementation project. Loqsea's Risk Manager is built for these requirements.

Compare against what the desk does today rather than against a feature list. Time how long it takes to get an accurate position and margin view mid-session, count the manual steps between execution and a reconciled book, and identify where spreadsheets sit between systems. Those three measures usually show whether a platform would change how the desk works or simply move the same problems elsewhere.
Loqsea supports direct connectivity across major global commodity exchanges including CME Group, EEX, EUREX, ICE, LME, SGX and SHFE. As an LME ISV approved platform, Loqsea provides validated direct connectivity to LME infrastructure. Electronic trades are captured automatically as they execute, through Trading Technologies (TT) and clearing brokers, eliminating manual input and reducing operational risk.
Yes. Live LME prices and spreads stream into Loqsea through Trading Technologies (TT). The LME Interpolation Curve then values the prompt dates that haven't traded, so desks can keep their LME curve current through the session without marking it by hand. The exchange's official and closing prices remain the benchmark for end-of-day valuations.
LME ISV approval means Loqsea is validated by the London Metal Exchange as an Independent Software Vendor 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 and LME averaging support, rather than the approximations used by non-specialist platforms.
Yes. Loqsea supports both exchange-traded derivatives and OTC contracts across commodity markets. The platform provides a consolidated view of exposure across all instruments within the same real-time environment, enabling accurate mark-to-market valuations and risk calculations across the full commodity derivatives book.
Yes. Loqsea's Risk Manager includes an Options module giving trading and risk teams tools to manage and price options with confidence. It includes real-time Delta and Greeks monitoring, end-of-day analysis, pricing step adjustments and integrated volatility modelling across commodity derivatives markets.
Tommy is Loqsea's AI chatbot for commodity trading analysis, built into Risk Manager. Trading and risk teams ask questions about their book in plain language and get answers drawn from live platform data, covering positions, VaR, P&L and reconciliation status. Answers reflect the current state of the book during the session.
Yes. Loqsea's Risk Manager includes Tommy, an AI chatbot for commodity trading analysis. Trading teams query live positions, VaR, P&L and reconciliation status in plain language, without building a report or exporting to a spreadsheet. Because Tommy runs on live platform data, the analysis reflects the book as it stands.
Tommy draws on live data from within the Loqsea platform: positions, valuations, P&L, margin and reconciliation status as they stand during the session. Answers come from the firm's own platform data rather than an end-of-day file or an external source.
Loqsea's Risk Manager supports derivatives trading across metals, oil and energy, agriculture and freight. The platform connects across all major global commodity exchanges including CME Group, EEX, EUREX, ICE, LME, SGX and SHFE, covering the key venues across each commodity market.
Loqsea values them through the LME Interpolation Curve, a non-linear, time-weighted curve interpolated from real-time market data, including LME data via LMEsource and prices streamed through TT. It creates a live, approximated P&L for forward contracts through the session. Interpolation remains an approximation of the market, so it is an intraday estimate rather than an end-of-day price.
