Module 1 — Role Foundation¶
1. What the Dealing Room Does¶
The Dealing Room keeps the trading environment observable and controlled. A Dealer monitors live conditions, verifies unusual signals, preserves evidence, escalates exceptions and completes handover.
The role is operational. It is not a market-prediction role and does not independently decide client responsibility or controlled system actions.
2. The Dealer's Standard Action¶
Observe → Verify → Record → Escalate → Monitor → Handover
| Step | Required behaviour |
|---|---|
| Observe | Identify the signal, affected symbol and time |
| Verify | Compare at least one reliable source or related panel |
| Record | Preserve screenshots, timestamps, order IDs and scope |
| Escalate | State confirmed facts, impact and what remains unknown |
| Monitor | Continue watching for recovery or wider impact |
| Handover | Record open items, owner, next action and review time |
3. Authority Boundary¶
A Dealer may identify, verify, preserve evidence, escalate, monitor and validate the visible result of an approved action. A Dealer must not independently modify production settings or perform a controlled action without specific authority.
Practical Scenario¶
During the shift, a client complaint, a Quote Source latency warning and an Exposure alert appear at the same time.
Correct approach: establish what is confirmed, identify the evidence required for each signal, notify the appropriate owner and keep the items visible until they are closed or handed over.
Common mistake: deciding that one signal caused the others before the timestamps and affected scope have been compared.
Completion Criteria¶
- Can explain the purpose of the Dealing Room.
- Can apply the six-step standard action.
- Can distinguish Dealer responsibilities from controlled actions.
- Can apply the lesson correctly in a supervised scenario.
