In case of retail broker, i think they only check if the client has enough margin for the trade ....

Incase of trading company, which employs traders and allocates funds to each trader, the risk management team may wanna look into the risk involved overall , as well as the individual traders risk exposure .... I am not sure, what all procedures such companies may follow
