The risk engine between a trader and their capital.
RisqDesq checks every trade before it happens, watches your portfolio while it's live, and flags the behaviour that quietly wrecks good traders — revenge trades, overtrading, sizing that's crept up since your last loss.
A dashboard shows you risk. An RMS controls it.
Most trading tools stop at analytics. RisqDesq is built to sit in the order path itself — evaluating, warning, reducing or rejecting before capital is at risk, not after.
"You are using 90% margin."
Informational. The order still goes through.
"You're at 90% margin. This order takes you to 104%."
→ Order reduced automatically, before it reaches your broker.
Every order runs the same sequence, in order.
Capital → margin → exposure → strategy → behaviour → probability → decision. Each engine below feeds the next, and the final call is always one of five: allow, warn, reduce, block, or square off.
Pre-Trade Risk Engine
The order is checked against available margin, current exposure and your own limits before it ever reaches your broker. Nothing gets through unexamined.
Real-Time Portfolio Risk Engine
A constant read on drawdown, margin used, exposure and risk consumed — recalculated on every meaningful tick, not on a five-minute refresh.
Position Sizing Engine
Set your risk per trade, and RisqDesq works backward from your stop to tell you exactly how much to buy — instead of you guessing a round number.
Strategy Risk Engine
A traditional RMS asks if an order is affordable. This one also asks if it fits the plan you already wrote down — max trades a day, defined R:R, defined setup.
Behavioural Risk Engine
Most losses aren't market risk — they're revenge trades and creeping size after a loss. RisqDesq watches for the pattern and steps in before you do the thing you'll regret.
A risk cockpit, built to be read in three seconds.
Capital, equity, today's P&L, drawdown, margin and risk used — up top, always visible. Everything below exists to explain that one number.
| Instrument | Qty | P&L | Risk | Delta | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NIFTY | 150 | +₹8K | ₹6K | +0.31 | |
| BANKNIFTY | 60 | -₹12K | ₹14K | -0.42 | |
| RELIANCE | 100 | -₹4K | ₹3K | +0.12 |
Capital risk is table stakes. Behaviour is the moat.
Traditional risk systems stop at margin and exposure. RisqDesq goes further, because most traders don't blow up from market risk — they blow up from what they do after a loss.
Between enterprise RMS and retail strategy tools.
Institutional systems are built for brokers. Retail platforms are built for strategy automation. Nobody has built a risk-first operating system for the trader themselves.
| Product | Built for | Strength | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broker RMS | Brokers | Regulatory + execution risk | Not trader-centric |
| NEST / Greeksoft | Brokers, institutions | Deep rule engines, Greeks, MTM | Enterprise complexity, no consumer UX |
| AlgoTest / Tradetron | Algo traders | Backtesting + automation | Strategy-first, not risk-first |
| RisqDesq | Traders, prop desks, educators, brokers | Risk-first trading OS | New category |
Built in the open, one working layer at a time.
RisqDesq is in active development. We're building the core risk engine first — not a full trading terminal — and expanding from there.
