HawkEye RMS is Match-Prime’s in-house risk management system, built to detect and mitigate toxic trading flows in real time.
Addresses long-standing broker challenges such as latency arbitrage and gold market manipulation.
Offers a targeted approach with dedicated liquidity pools, avoiding blanket restrictions that damage client relationships.
2025 has been a tough year for brokers, with rising volatility, rapid technological advancements, and increasingly complex trading strategies testing even the most experienced liquidity providers (LPs). To remain competitive, LPs must constantly balance client satisfaction, risk management and profitability.
A persistent challenge lies in toxic trading flows — practices like latency arbitrage or gold-market manipulation — that eat into broker profitability. These flows are particularly concentrated in certain Asian markets, and while the problem is widely acknowledged across the industry, scalable and effective solutions have been scarce.
To tackle this, Match-Prime has launched HawkEye RMS, an advanced in-house risk management system designed to give brokers immediate protection without disrupting normal trading activity.
HawkEye RMS continuously monitors trading flows, detecting harmful behaviors in real time and rerouting them to dedicated liquidity pools. By doing this, it safeguards broker profitability, preserves trading conditions for legitimate clients, and ensures that spreads remain competitive.
Gold is one of the most traded instruments globally, but also one of the most vulnerable to manipulation. HawkEye RMS uses behavior-pattern detection to spot suspicious trading activity around XAUUSD. Once flagged, the flow is immediately redirected to a specialized liquidity pool designed to handle such trades. This approach prevents profit erosion while maintaining a seamless trading experience for clients.
Latency arbitrage (which means exploiting small timing gaps between feeds) has been a headache for brokers for years. HawkEye RMS combats this by running real-time markout calculations and spread coverage analysis across set intervals. When harmful flows are detected, they are automatically rerouted to specific pools, ensuring legitimate clients continue to enjoy fair and efficient execution.
What makes HawkEye stand out is its speed, precision and individual approach.
Many brokers, especially smaller firms, lack the tools to identify toxic patterns before they cause financial damage. HawkEye closes that gap with:
Fast detection: Instant identification of harmful flows.
Quick reaction: Early classification and automated rerouting using FIX tags.
Individual approach: Instead of blanket measures like account blocks or wider spreads, Match-Prime applies targeted interventions, keeping client relationships intact.
This infrastructure allows brokers to protect profitability without punishing legitimate traders, while still managing complex flows effectively.
With HawkEye RMS, Match-Prime positions itself as not just a liquidity provider but more as a strategic partner for brokers navigating today’s fast-moving markets. With the new unveiling, the firm is offering a solution that could reshape how the industry addresses toxic trading flows.
