View or Change Trade Status

This activity is only applicable if the Trade status definition has been configured. See Status Definitions.

Security Note: Assuming you can view the trade detail, no specific security right is required to view its status history. To change the status, you need the following security rights:

  • Allow the user to maintain trades in the Trading domain security rights group
  • The specific Trade status transition as an allowed status transition

Status link configuration may require that only different users can change consecutive statuses, or that the user who changes the status cannot be the user who last modified the trade.

Activity Steps

  1. Open the Trade Detail.

    Note: You can also change trade status by right-clicking the trade in the Trade Explorer.

  2. Select the Status History tab.
  3. If a full Comment is not visible, hover the mouse pointer over the field to display the comment as a tooltip.
  4. To change the status:
    1. Right-click and select Set Status To and the required status from the menu.

      Note: If the Editable property of the new status is not checked, the trade details are read-only. If the Closed property of the new status is checked, profit and loss will no longer be calculated for the trade; adjustments cannot be added, edited or cleared; and the profit and loss cannot be recalculated.

    2. Enter a Comment if required.
    3. Update the Applicable Status Start Date if required.

      Note: Ensure that the selected date does not change the sequence of statuses within the status history. You can only edit the date of the initial status if you have permission to create the trade. You can only edit the date of a non-initial status if you have permission to transition the trade to that status.

  5. To delete a status, right-click the status and select Delete from the menu.

    Note: You can only delete a status if it is the current status and if you have permission to transition the trade to that status.

  6. Click Save.
