Sinara CTRM

Commodity trading and risk management, with metals in its DNA

Sinara CTRM gives you a real-time grip on positions, P&L and risk across commodity trading — with full LME rulebook support and the physical and financial workflows metals demand. 

Built first for brokers and financial firms trading commodity futures and options, and equally at home with producers and suppliers managing physical exposure.

Commodity Trading & Risk Management

Know your position, your P&L and your risk — in real time

Commodities are unforgiving of blind spots. Positions move with the market, exposure spans financial and physical, and metals add rules that generic systems fail to handle properly. 

Sinara CTRM is built to manage all of it — capturing trades, valuing positions, calculating risk and margin, and supporting settlement, with the LME rulebook built in rather than bolted on. 

It’s designed for brokers and financial firms trading commodity futures and options, and it serves producers and suppliers who need the same rigour over their physical exposure. 

Built on the SinaraTLC modular architecture, it runs standalone or as part of a single, connected trading platform.

Capabilities

Trade and risk management, built for commodities

Real-time positions & P&L

Live, centralised views of positions and profit and loss across your book — financial and physical — so decisions rest on current reality, not yesterday’s snapshot.                                                                                                                                                                            

Full LME rulebook support

Prompt-date structures, carries and spreads, average pricing, borrowing and lending, and physical delivery — built in and maintained as the rulebook evolves, including readiness for the LME’s 2026 reforms.                           

Market, credit & margin risk

Real-time exposure, margin and risk calculations, with the views and limits you need to stay in control through volatile conditions.

Financial and physical

One system spanning futures and options and the physical side — forwards with physical delivery, warrants and inventory — so nothing falls between the cracks.                            

Valuations & mark-to-market

Accurate, real-time valuation and mark-to-market, with pricing and curves suited to metals and commodities.                  

Contract & lifecycle management

Manage contracts through their lifecycle, from trade capture to settlement, with the audit trail and controls governance requires.                         

Built for brokers — and beyond

Designed around how commodity brokers and financial firms work, and equally suited to producers and suppliers managing real exposure to the underlying.      

Built to connect

Integrates with Sinara OEMS, the Broker Portal, Sinara Inventory and SinaraMDP, plus your existing systems, CCPs and clearing — a connected view across the trade lifecycle.
