Order Execution

AVAILABLE IN: image-20251024-103826.png

Introduction

Order execution is the process of accepting and completing an order. It ensures that your portfolio positions are up-to-date.

  • When a Manager submits an order (for OTC trades) or an Execution Report is received (for DMA trades), the platform creates transaction(s) based on the received information.

  • These transactions participate in calculations and initially have a Status Reason = Order, and remain Unsettled until the custody report is received and transactions are fully settled.

Order creation and management are permission-based features. Please check with your Manager for availability.

  • If an order is not GTC (Good Till Cancel) and the due date has passed, the platform closes it automatically:

    • Expired if not partially filled

    • Partially Filled if partially executed

  • Default alerts notify you when an order is nearing expiration.

  • Order Initiator can update the Due Date if needed.

Order Cancellation

  • Only orders not in Filled status can be canceled.

  • Use the Revert function if an order was executed by mistake.

Order Revert

  • The Revert function deactivates related transactions, allowing you to resubmit or cancel the order.

  • Do not manually deactivate transactions outside the Revert function โ€” the order status will not revert to open automatically.
