Note:
If the user is logged in as a Tenant, the page initially opens with a Client Selection screen.
A client must be selected before accessing market data and performing any trading operations.

🌍 Market & Instrument Configuration​

Before placing any orders, users define the trading scope by selecting:

Market​

  • Supported markets:
    • Allfunds
    • Quotrix

The selected market determines the available instruments and pricing sources.

Instrument Type​

  • Supported instrument types:
    • Stocks
    • EtforEtc

Once the market and instrument type are selected, the instrument list is populated with tradable securities, including bid/ask prices, volumes, and last update times.

📊 Instrument List & Market Data​

The instrument list provides a real-time overview of available instruments, including:

  • ISIN
  • Instrument name and short code
  • Country
  • Bid / Ask prices
  • Bid / Ask volumes
  • Last price update timestamp

Selecting an instrument automatically synchronizes the price chart and enables order placement for that instrument.

➕ Create New Order​

By clicking Create New Order, users open the order entry dialog to initiate a trade.

🔁 Buy & Sell Order Dialogs​

The order entry modal supports both Buy and Sell operations and is designed to guide users through all required trading parameters in a clear and controlled manner.

🏦 Account Selection​

  • Users can change:
    • Deposit Account
    • Internal Account
  • Account selection is managed via the Settings (⚙️) icon within the order dialog.
    • By clicking this icon, users can switch between available deposit and internal accounts.
  • The Available Trade Balance is calculated dynamically based on:
    • The selected accounts
    • The chosen order side (Buy or Sell)

This mechanism enables seamless routing of trades across different portfolios or cash accounts while ensuring accurate balance validation before order submission.

⚙️ Order Parameters​

Order Type​

Users can choose from multiple order types depending on their trading strategy:

  • Market – Executes immediately at the best available market price.
  • Limit – Executes only at the specified price or better.
  • Stop – Becomes a market order once the stop price is reached.
  • Stop Limit – Becomes a limit order once the stop price is reached.

Time in Force​

Defines how long the order remains active:

  • Today – Valid until the end of the trading day.
  • Good Till Date – Valid until a user-defined expiration date.
  • Fill or Kill – Must be executed in full immediately or cancelled.
  • Immediate or Cancel – Executes immediately; any unfilled quantity is cancelled.

🔢 Quantity & Fractional Orders​

Standard Quantity​

  • Users can enter the number of units to buy or sell.
  • Estimated cost or proceeds are calculated in real time.

Fractional Order​

  • When Fractional Order is enabled:
    • The Amount field becomes available.
    • Users trade by monetary value instead of whole units.
  • This is especially useful for high-priced instruments or precise portfolio allocations.

The Sell dialog follows the same structure and rules as the Buy dialog, ensuring consistency and ease of use.

✅ Order Confirmation​

When a Buy or Sell action is selected, users are first presented with an Order Confirmation screen.

  • This confirmation step summarizes all order details (instrument, order type, quantity/amount, price conditions, and selected accounts).
  • Users must explicitly confirm the order before it is submitted.

Once the order is confirmed, the system processes the transaction and—unless any validation or execution constraints apply—the order is successfully executed.

🏦 Investment Decision & Execution Context (Tenant Users)​

If the user is operating as a Tenant, an additional step is introduced after order confirmation:

  • The user must select who the trade is executed on behalf of:

    • Client
    • Tenant

  • Based on this selection, the user is required to specify:

    • Investment Decision Maker
    • Executing Trader

Only after these roles are explicitly selected can the Buy or Sell order be finalized and submitted.

This step ensures regulatory compliance, clear accountability, and proper attribution of investment decisions and trade execution responsibilities.
