KannDesk puts working dealers beside your desk. We watch your book overnight, sit second chair through the day, step in when someone is off, and find you dealers we would trust with a book ourselves.
FX trades around the clock. Few desks are staffed for all of it.
We are risk people who built a risk platform, not technologists who found a market. The same dealers now sit beside your desk.
Carokann gives your desk three lenses on the book. KannDesk adds the fourth: someone looking through them when you cannot.
We read your history before we watch your book: which clients and liquidity providers have cost you, and when.
The live book in front of the dealer on watch: exposure, limits, client flags and feed health across every venue.
What we would do next, written into the morning handover with the evidence behind it. Then you decide.
A dealer awake, reading your book and ready to pick up the phone. The fourth lens is a person, and that part is KannDesk.
Each one runs remotely, to a playbook you write with us. Nothing in your setup changes: your platforms, your liquidity and your rules stay exactly as they are.
KannDesk works as an outsourced service under your firm's oversight. Your firm keeps every regulated decision.
A dealer watches your book through Asia and the rollover while your team sleeps. Routine events are logged. Anything on your list gets a message or a phone call.
A second set of eyes during your trading day. For a desk of one or two, for data releases, or while a new dealer finds their feet.
Someone is ill, on leave or has resigned. One of our dealers sits in for the shift, already at home in the system your desk runs on.
Tell us where the gaps are and we build the rota around them.
Our dealers have sat on both. The playbook we write with you says what matters on your book, so the dealer on shift is looking for the right things.
Cover is for the hours and the days your own team cannot reach. We work alongside your dealers, in your desk chat, and hand back to them every morning.
Talk to the desk →Exposure against your limits, flow that is taking value, and the plumbing that prices and hedges it.
Funded accounts watched against your own rules, with the evidence attached when something breaks them.
When something needs you, we tell you what we saw, what we think caused it and what we would do. Then you decide.
You choose what is routine, what earns a message and what is worth waking someone for. We keep to it, and the log shows that we did.

A night dealer takes months to find and still needs holidays. Cover from KannDesk starts with a playbook and a few shadow shifts, for a support fee that is less than the hire.
| Hiring a night dealer | KannDesk | |
|---|---|---|
| While you recruit | No cover until they start | Cover from the first agreed shift |
| Sickness and leave | The gap comes back | We arrange the cover |
| Knowing your book | Months on the desk | Your playbook and shadow shifts |
| A second opinion | One person, alone at night | The team that built Insight behind them |
| What you pay for | A salary, whatever the hours | A support fee for the hours you use |
A recruiter can tell you where someone has worked. We can tell you whether they can read a book. Before you see a CV, the candidate has worked through a live style scenario with one of our dealers and been scored on it.
You get the score sheet with every introduction, including the parts they found hard.
| Test | Score |
|---|---|
| Live exposure scenarioA book moving against the house into a data release. What do they look at first? | 4/5 |
| Reading markoutsTen accounts from the fill to two hours after. Which flow is taking value? | 5/5 |
| A or B book, and the hedgeWhere an account belongs, how much to cover and when. | 4/5 |
| Spotting toxic flowLatency, news and shared connection patterns in ordinary looking trades. | 3/5 |
| Platform hands onManager tools on the platform you run. Ready on day one? | 5/5 |
A running list of dealing and risk seats advertised around the industry. These are other firms' adverts on other sites, and each link takes you there.
Listings checked on 10 November 2026. KannDesk is not the recruiter for these roles, listing one is not a recommendation, and adverts can close without notice.
The things heads of dealing and their compliance officers ask first.
Talk to the desk →No. Your platforms, bridge, liquidity and limits stay as they are. We work inside what you already run.
You do. On Night Watch and Second Chair we watch and escalate. On Dealer for a Day we act only within the authority you have written down.
View access to your risk system and platform manager for the watch. Dealing permissions only for Dealer for a Day, and only the ones you grant. A confidentiality agreement comes first.
Once the playbook is agreed and access is in place. Shadow shifts come first, so the first live shift is never the first time we have seen your book.
Yes. We run shadow shifts beside your desk with nothing at stake, and you read the logs before any live cover starts.
Not for Night Watch, Second Chair or Search. Dealer for a Day is kept for Insight clients, because our dealers already know the system. See what Insight covers.
Yes. The watch follows your rules: breaches, linked accounts and payouts that deserve a second look.
Only what the watch needs, through access you control. We keep the shift logs and handovers and nothing else, under the confidentiality agreement.
Thirty minutes on your book, your hours and where the gaps are, with someone who has sat in your seat.
We write down together what to watch, what counts as a warning and who gets the phone call.
We run beside your desk with nothing at stake. You read the logs and we adjust until they match how you work.
Shifts start on the rota you chose. The playbook is reviewed with you as your book changes.
We spent years running risk books before we built Insight. We know what it is to manage a book under pressure, and exactly what you want in front of you when it moves. The software came from the desk. KannDesk is the desk itself.
If your firm runs on Insight, there is nothing for us to learn before a shift. The exposure page, your client flags and your hedger are where we expect them to be.
Cover from dealers who already know your system, often the same day when someone is free.
Your playbook begins with what Insight already knows about your book.
The people who answer your platform questions are the people on shift.
Book a 30-minute call and we will map cover to your own hours, books and platforms. A dealer will come back to you, not a sales team. Or write to sales@carokannrisk.com
