Sterling is proud to announce the release of the newest addition to the Sterling Trader® platform – Futures Execution and Risk Control Module. As part of the software release Version 4.0 of the Sterling platform, traders will now be able to route and execute orders to the CME/GLOBEX exchange.

Sterling ’s software has been officially certified with the CME and our service bureau operation has a direct access to the CME/GLOBEX exchange. Those clients who wish to use Sterling Service Bureau will receive direct market quotes from the CME via the existing Sterling network link and the futures orders will be routed to GLOBEX via Sterling’s direct access lines.

Sterling’s futures trading software includes an advanced risk control module. This risk control module has been built into the Sterling Trader® Manager software as an integral part of the overall trading risk management. Risk managers will be able to use a variety of advanced features to control trading activity: Overall Margin Control, Maximum Loss Control, Minimum Account Balance Control, Size and Position Control, Individual Instrument Margin Control, Cross-Margin Account Control, and many others.

Traders who choose to use the Sterling software to trade futures will see a series of new features in the Sterling Trader® Pro front-end platform. The new Futures Order Entry window has been specifically built for fast trading. Point-and-click order entry, one-click cancel, and super fast cancel-replace are just some of the advanced features. Traders who engage in trading both equities and futures can now enjoy the benefits of using the same advanced trading software for each, built into a single front-end platform.
