Position Management
backQORT allows for online calculation, monitoring and control of positions for all trade and non-trade operations with financial instruments of a company or bank and their clients.
The trade data is delivered from front-office systems (mostly QUIK). The trade data can also be imported directly from QUIK OMS and the Broker quotation system. Trades, including those with dates different from the current trading day, can be entered manually. Postdated trades are neither processed nor included in reports and performance results until the trading date becomes operational. When a predated trade is entered, the position is automatically recalculated for every successive date.
The system supports on-exchange rolling over of long and short client positions. Besides that, backQORT allows rolling over client positions by using OTC-trades which can be either entered into backQORT or executed in the Broker quotation system QUIK without sending the orders to the exchange. Currency positions can be rolled over by using SWAP trades, including those with mixed currency pairs.
If forced position closure is required, the system automatically generates instructions for forced position closure with online update of their parameters. The decision about forced position closure is made by the broker company’s specialist. According to the parameters, the instructions to close a position can be generated in specified sequence or depending on the asset or position volume.
