EduMarkets Life Cycle of a Trade

What happens after a trade is executed and before the cash settles. The module covers trade capture, confirmation between counterparties, central clearing through a CCP, margining and collateral management, settlement, and the regulatory reporting that surrounds each step. Much of the operational risk in finance concentrates here, in the workflows the front office rarely sees directly.
