Restrictions

Instructions

The Pre-Trade Compliance tool is designed to create, store and apply position and trade-related rules and restrictions to employees.

  • Trading Restrictions are created using one or multiple “rules,” that specify an order be either restricted or allowed if any or all specified conditions are met.

  • Special Restrictions do not fall under any of the restriction categories, for example the Minimum Holding Period trading restriction which only supports one rule.

  • Holding Restrictions check current holdings against one or multiple rules in the restriction. If a holding restriction is violated, a notification is sent. Holding Restrictions trigger notifications only, and do not restrict trading.

  • WhiteList Symbol Restrictions override any symbol restrictions you have set to allow trading in specified symbols and their derivatives.

You can view a list of all restrictions from the Restrictions Library.

See the history of a restriction by selecting the restriction in the Restrictions Library and then selecting History in the upper right corner of the Settings page.
