Trading operations refer to the processes and systems involved in the execution, settlement, and management of financial trades. These operations ensure that trades—whether in stocks, bonds, derivatives, or other financial instruments—are accurately processed, recorded, and settled in compliance with regulatory standards. Key tasks include trade confirmation, reconciliation, risk monitoring, and reporting. Efficient trading operations are critical to minimizing errors, reducing risk, and maintaining market integrity. They often involve close coordination between front-office traders, middle-office risk managers, and back-office settlement teams. Automation and technology play a vital role in streamlining operations and supporting real-time decision-making in fast-paced trading environments.
