Version 7.4 will benefit users by offering these New Features:
New Order Types: Iceberg and Hidden Orders
The iceberg and hidden order types allow a trader to place a large order without alerting the marketplace of the true size of their order. With an iceberg order, you specify exactly how much of your order you want to display. With a hidden order, while your order is still in the market, no part of the order is visible to any of the market participants. These new order types are available on the Spot ESP Market page. Simply right click on the Bid or Offer icon on the currency pair you are looking to trade. The ESP Order ticket will pop up and you will be able to specify Iceberg or Hidden in the Order Type. In order to use these new order types, you must be entitled. Please contact Customer Support for assistance.
Cancel & Rebook
The cancel & rebook feature allows clients the ability to send their prime brokers the trades they would like to aggregate. Clients must have an existing agreement established with their prime brokers in order to use this feature. In order to cancel & rebook, each trade must have the same prime broker, currency pair, traded currency, value date and must be on the same side of the market (buy or sell). Buys and sells on the same currency pair cannot be netted out. In order to use Cancel & Rebook, you must be entitled. Please contact Customer Support for assistance. Access to the Cancel & Rebook functionality can be found on the Toolbar by clicking on the "CR" icon or in the Trading menu under "Cancel & Rebook Trades".
Spot Position Filters
The spot position filter allows you to filter the data presented on the Spot Position tab within the Trades Monitor. This feature allows you to filter by Counterparty, Trader and Sub/Fund. You can also choose to exclude Cancelled/Rebooked Trades. In order to filter the spot position in the trade monitor, select Preferences under the Setup menu, then click on the Spot Position tab. Drop downs will be presented to allow you to choose a specific Counterparty, Trader and Sub/Fund. Clicking on the check box will exclude Cancelled/Rebooked Trades.
VWAP
The VWAP feature provides enhanced quote information for the New York, London and Tokyo markets. VWAP is the Volume Weighted Average Price and is calculated as a 5 minute rolling average. It is found to the right of the big figure. VWAP also provides the open, high, low and close for the top ten currency pairs. The opening and closing is the VWAP at 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM local time, respectively, for each market.
In order to access VWAP, you must be entitled. Please contact Customer Support for assistance. Once entitled, you may activate VWAP by selecting Preferences under the Setup menu, then clicking on the check boxes for each market center in the VWAP section of the Trading tab.
