Account

Free text field used to specify an Account.

Since it is a free text field, no system check is made to verify that the Account you specify actually exists.

The Accounts tab in the Options dialogue (see 3.5 above) allows you to specify predefined accounts.

Once created, predefined accounts are available in all Account fields throughout the application; start typing the first letter of a predefined Account and it will appear as a suggested Account that you can select.

The field will, in addition to any predefined accounts, remember accounts that you have entered for any previously successfully submitted manual trades, and suggest these as well.

Due to limitations in the FIX protocol, this field does not support special or local characters (such as åÅ, äÄ, öÖ).

No = Non Client Account

Group ID

Trade Group ID

Refer to 2.9 above for a description of the Trader Group name format.

Until a valid value has been entered, the trade panel is locked to ensure that no invalid value can be entered. The status bar contains a specification of the format to use.

Trader ID

Free text field used to specify a Trader ID.

Manual trades are sent on Trader Group level to your counterparty. So even if you specify a Trader ID for your counterparty, it will still be sent to the whole counterparty Trader Group.

Your own log-in username is filled in by default.

No trader IDs are registered in the system. Consequently, it is a free text field and no system check is made to verify that the ID exists.

However, if all members in a Trader Group specify the same Trader ID, it will not be possible to separate them and their respective actions in the system. Therefore, it is suggested that you always use your given system log-in username as your Trader ID.

Due to limitations in the FIX protocol, this field does not support special or local characters (such as åÅ, äÄ, öÖ).
