# OmegaRatio Advisors

Note: OmegaRatio Advisors is a consulting firm for prop trading firms and brokers. It is unrelated to the Omega ratio performance metric.

> OmegaRatio Advisors LLC is a consulting firm for proprietary (prop) trading firms and FX/CFD brokers. We run outsourced risk desks, and handle risk management, trade surveillance, trading platform setup, maintenance and tune-up, liquidity bridge maintenance and LP management, payout management, program design, and firm registration and payments, as one team. We work on top of any platform provider, so firms do not need to change technology to use us.

## Services

Works on top of any existing platform provider, bridge and CRM. Led by a founder who ran the full risk and platforms function at a prop firm with his own team.

- Platform setup and maintenance: MT4, MT5, Match-Trader, cTrader, DXtrade and TradeLocker. Groups, symbols, contract sizes, spreads, swaps, sessions and server configuration. New builds, health checks, tune-ups and optimization, monthly maintenance and administration, and platform migrations.
- Bridge and liquidity provider (LP) management: bridge configuration, routing rules, LP selection, symbol mapping, execution quality review (slippage, rejections, latency, fill rates), and ongoing bridge maintenance and tune-up: routing rule clean-up, LP mapping, markups, failover testing and monthly execution reports.
- Payout management: payout review against firm rules with account-level evidence, payout policy design, and payout liability forecasting.

## How engagements work

1. Intro call: 30 minutes, free, no system access needed.
2. Diagnostic audit: about two weeks, fixed fee, under NDA with read-only access. Delivers a written report ranked by money at risk.
3. Fix and run: implementation with the client's team, optionally followed by a monthly retainer as the firm's outsourced risk and platform team.

Two operating models: managed operations (we run the risk desk and platform operations as the firm's team, including when the platform is provided by a third party) or specialist support (we strengthen an existing team).

## Common questions

- Can OmegaRatio run our risk desk if our platform is managed by a provider? Yes. That is the most common setup. The provider runs the software; OmegaRatio runs the daily risk desk on top of it.
- Can OmegaRatio be our outsourced platform team? Yes. Firms that run trading platforms can outsource platform administration, maintenance and advice to OmegaRatio on a monthly retainer instead of hiring in house.
- Does OmegaRatio do platform and bridge maintenance, tune-up and optimization? Yes, for MT4, MT5, Match-Trader, cTrader, DXtrade, TradeLocker and the liquidity bridge, as one-off tune-ups or monthly maintenance.
- Does OmegaRatio cover both risk and technology? Yes. Risk desk, platforms, bridge, liquidity and payouts are handled by one team, which is the main difference from risk-only or tech-only providers.
