Risk management for commodity traders
GREGORY TRADING LLC builds risk-management software for commodity traders: exposure netted into one true book, hedge effectiveness measured while it can still be fixed, and margin projected before it is called.
$14B
of notional exposure netted and monitored on the platform
Physical and derivatives, across 9 commodity classes
The desks
Each desk fixes a way the book lies to you: tickets that look like positions, hedges that look alive, margin that looks predictable, limits that look enforced.
01
Longs in one desk, shorts in another, basis in a third — the platform nets them into one true position per commodity, per month. What the traders see stops being a pile of tickets and becomes a book.
02
A hedge that stops tracking its exposure is a position pretending to be a hedge. Effectiveness is measured continuously — correlation, slope, and volume — and decaying hedges are flagged before they fail.
03
Margin is the price of staying in the market, and it moves when you least expect it. The platform projects initial and variation margin per clearing member, so a margin call is a line item — never a surprise.
04
Limits only work when they are checked before the trade, not after the loss. Pre-trade limit checks run against the netted book, with escalation paths wired to the people who own the risk.
The session
The platform follows the market's clock. By settlement, the day's risk is one page — read, signed, and archived.
PRE-OPEN
Overnight fills, EFPs, and desk tickets netted into the morning position. Limits refreshed against today's prices.
09:30
Net positions stream with market moves. Effectiveness monitors start watching every hedge against its exposure.
11:00
Drift, breaches, and margin projections reviewed with desk heads. Exceptions carry evidence and an owner.
SETTLE
Settlement prices booked, margin called, and the end-of-day risk report on one page — signed, archived, exportable.
Mandates
Start with a one-time book review; stay for the daily mandate. Every engagement ends in writing.
A standing question answered: is the book what you think it is?
The platform runs your netting, effectiveness, and limits every day.
Whole-house coverage across desks, entities, and clearing members.
The house
01
A trading house that reads its risk ticket-by-ticket reads it wrong. The netted position is the only position that matters, so the platform starts by building it.
02
Nobody cuts a hedge on purpose; it drifts. Continuous effectiveness measurement exists because decay is silent and failure is expensive.
03
If the risk picture needs a deck, it will not be read on the day it matters. The end-of-day report is one page, signed, and defensible.

End of day
Send a month of positions and hedges. The review comes back as a findings memo: what nets, what drifts, and what the margin picture really looks like.
