Flow Traders censured and fined for alleged financial risk management failures

The firm did not put in place reasonably designed pre-set capital thresholds and supervisory procedures. The pre-set capital thresholds were set too high and did not meaningfully limit the financial exposure generated by the firm’s trading.

In addition the firm’s WSPs were not reasonably designed, with maximum notional value limits set too high to prevent the entry of erroneous orders.
