Creating and modifying an SOD

Note: As an administrator, the "Update positions" setting must be enabled in Setup for each account available to you in order to create or modify an SOD or that account. Also, only one SOD record can exist per account and contract.

Creating an SOD

To create an SOD:

1. In the workspace menu bar, click Widgets | Miscellaneous | Position Manager.

   The Position Manager widget opens.

2. Select the Admin SOD tab.

   

3. Click + Add Row to create a new SOD record.

   A new SOD row is displayed and highlighted yellow in the Position Manager.

4. Enable the following optional setting as needed:

   Price off tick — If checked, allows you to enter an off tick price per leg for instruments that support tick sizes smaller than what is displayed.

   Note: Off-tick prices cannot be entered for instruments that tick in fractions (displayed with an apostrophe). For example: ZB Sep18 with a price of 145'23.

5. In the SOD row, click each cell in the following columns to add or select a value:
   • Contract — Use the product search or market explorer to find and select a contract. The settlement price for the selected contract appears in the Price column.
   Account — Select an account for the manual fill.

   Note: An account is required to manually add an SOD record.

   • SOD — Add an SOD position. Positive values represent a long position, and negative values represent a short position.
   • Use Settle — Select whether to use the current settlement price for the contract.
   • Price — Enter a price for the SOD or use the default settlement price for the selected contract.

   

   Before the SOD is published, the Status column displays a status of "Staged".

6. To create additional SOD records, click + Add Row and repeat the previous Step.

7. Review the SOD record and click Publish.

   The new SOD position is displayed in the Positions widget.
