The purpose of this set up is to allow you to select only either one of Broker, Account and Company Name and the corresponding linked Broker, Account and Company Name will be auto filled for your convenience.

This functions applies if you have:

  • 1 Parent Company with multiple brokers and accounts, or

  • Multiple companies (parent with subsidiary companies - set up in Company>Company Profile) with multiple brokers and accounts

you may set up the Paper Brokers function to bind/link Company Name together with its Brokers and Accounts, so whenever you select Company Name, Brokers and Accounts in https://mafint.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MCUGX/pages/137920555 and https://mafint.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MCUGX/pages/253165775 , the corresponding linked fields (Company Name, Brokers and Accounts) will be auto-filled or auto-filtered for selection. Data such as P/L and positions of paper trades will thus be calculated based on different Company Name, Brokers and Accounts separately according to your preference.

 

1. To access the function, please click on Settings>Company>Company Data>Paper Brokers from the navigation sidebar on the left. In the page, click on Add Row and fill in the Company Name, Brokers and Accounts in each row to be bind together. The system will thus automatically perform corresponding calculations for each company based on your settings.

 

2. Once set up, when you upload/input trades in https://mafint.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MCUGX/pages/137920555 or and select Broker or Account or Company Name, the corresponding fields will be auto-filled/auto-filtered for selection according to your settings.

Please note that once this function has been set up, the brokers and accounts that can be selected in or will be limited to the data in this Paper Brokers table. So whenever there are new brokers and accounts to be added, you may need to update the table accordingly as you cannot add new brokers or accounts directly in the and tables. Please also ensure that the Broker or Account or Company Name you select/input in and are exactly the same as in the Paper Brokers table, otherwise, you will not be able to save the details successfully.

However, you may also choose not to set up this function, so you may add new brokers or accounts directly in the or table any time as per normal.

For instance, once you have input/uploaded your paper trades in , after selecting the Broker or Account, the corresponding Account or Broker will be auto-filled. If there are multiple entries under the same Broker or Account, you may need to select from the drop-down list.
