Lesson 1.3 - Core Responsibilities¶
The core responsibility of the Dealing Room is to keep observing whether the trading environment is operating normally, and to verify, record, escalate and follow up when exceptions appear.

Core Monitoring Areas¶

| Incident | Time, scope, evidence, action and next update |
| Handover | Open items, evidence location and next responsible person |
Junior Dealer Boundary¶
Junior Dealers may monitor, collect evidence, record and escalate. Junior Dealers should not independently change production settings, client conditions, permissions, risk parameters or system configuration.
Standard Actions¶
- Observe the signal.
- Verify with at least one reliable source.
- Save evidence.
- Record time, symbol, account scope and impact.
- Notify the Shift Leader or responsible person when required.
- Leave a clear handover if the item is still open.

Expected Dealer output:
Observed signal:
Evidence checked:
What is normal:
What needs review:
