Organization
Your company. It owns everything below it: the pods, the venue accounts, and the members. A member is an admin or a trader:Organization
Members and roles, venue accounts, and what your plan sets.
Pod
A pod is a segregated book of capital. It holds its own balance, its own wallet, its own positions, and its own traders. A pod is the unit you would otherwise create by opening another venue account. Use one per strategy, per desk, per client book, or per fund: whatever the thing is that you need funded and measured on its own.Pods
Funding, readiness, venue connection, and controls.
Trader
A trader is a person on your desk. An admin adds them to the organization as a trader, then to the pods they trade. That is the whole of access: a trader can trade the pods they have been added to, and nothing else. A trader on no pod can sign in but cannot trade. A trader who integrates programmatically creates their own API key, one per pod, from the trading platform. The key is generated in the trader’s browser and the private half is shown to them once. No credential is ever passed from one person to another. Traders are how you attribute activity. Every order carries the trader that placed it, so performance and exposure break down by person without anyone sharing a login.Traders and Permissions
What a trader can do, and how to take it away.
Credential
The thing that lets ParlayX act at a venue on your behalf. It takes two forms, depending on the venue:Venues
How each venue connects, and what that means for separation between pods.
How they fit together
- An organization has members and pods.
- A pod holds capital, and reaches a venue through its wallet or a credential tie.
- A trader is a member added to a pod. Every order carries the trader who placed it.
