A risk engine is an automated system that enforces rules the firm has set, and closes breached accounts in real time. It protects the firm from uncontrolled payout exposure and is essential to any scalable prop firm operation.

A multi-asset prop firm gives traders access to more than one market from a single firm, covering combinations of forex, futures, equities, and crypto. For operators, multi-asset broadens the addressable market, increases retention, and raises average revenue, but requires a platform and risk engine capable of handling multiple market types.
