3. To input entries into the ‘General Ledger’, click on '+ Add Ledger' and an empty row with its corresponding portfolio name will appear in the table. You will then be able to fill in the information by double-clicking the individual field(s) and filling it in accordingly.
4. You are also able to edit any information (with the * sign) previously entered into your ‘General Ledger’. Simply double-click on the chosen field and edit accordingly.
5. If you will like to delete a ledger row, click on the row's checkbox located on the extreme left of the table. Click on 'Delete Ledger' located on the top right corner of the page, and click on 'Yes, delete!' in the pop-up message. Do note that this is an irreversible action. If you do not wish to delete the row, click on 'No, cancel!'.
EDIT PORTFOLIO
Any trades that are in the portfolio will be highlighted in blue. If you wish to remove any trade(s), tick the checkbox (represented by a 'blue box with a tick' 
icon) and it will be removed from the portfolio.
If you wish to allocate any other existing trade(s) into your portfolio, select the checkbox (represented by an 'empty box' 
icon) to select your desired trade.
Please note that you cannot add trades into a parent portfolio. This is because a parent portfolio is used to compute the overall performance of its sub-portfolios and must be left empty (no trades added) for this purpose.
Please also note that you cannot add a physical trade into your portfolio. Each newly created physical trade will automatically generate its own portfolio and you may add your paper trades from there.
4. Select the trade(s) to be included in the newly-created portfolio. The list includes trades that are already recorded in your account. If you want to include trades that are not found in this list, you may first input your trades under 'Paper Trade' from the navigation sidebar on the left. Otherwise, for your convenience, you may choose to create an empty portfolio first, and capture trades into it later on by directly creating new trade(s) here.
Please note that you may only select trades to be included in non-parent portfolio (sub-portfolio or standalone portfolio) only. You will not be able to add trades into a parent portfolio because a parent portfolio is used to compute the overall performance of its sub-portfolios and must be left empty (no trades added) for this purpose.
You may use the table headers to sort/filter your trades, to narrow your search. Once done, click 'Next' to proceed.
HOW TO CREATE A TERM CONTRACT
You can create a term contract to manage and monitor your positions, inventory and P/L easily in MAF Cloud.
All the steps in creating physical trade is the same using SPOT (Contract Type), the only difference is deciding whether you want to add the trade as part of the TERM contract. To decide if you want to use the SPOT or TERM method, if you want the system to keep track of how much quantity has been traded and outstanding (especially when you have not received the subsequent contract yet and is unsure of the actual quantity and price etc) for that contract, then you select TERM. So if you allocate the trade to the term contract, the system will accumulate the quantity into the traded quantity and reduce outstanding quantity accordingly. The outstanding quantity determines the quantity that has not been fulfilled for the contract.
Note: You can choose not to use the TERM method, but you may not be able to know if the main contract has been fulfilled/completed and may need to manually calculate the total quantity to determine its fulfilment.
To access the 'Physical Trade' page, click 'Trade' from the navigation sidebar on the left, followed by 'Physical Trade'.

Creating a physical trade will automatically generate a deal and portfolio (containing the associated paper and physical trades) to allow you to monitor your profit and loss, and risks efficiently.

a. Complete/Fulfil your term contract by creating new trades with new traded (purchase/sold) quantity to fulfil the total quantity of the contract. Follow Step 4 onwards, until your term contracts are fulfilled, and the 'TRADED QTY' and 'OUTSTANDING QTY' in the table in the 'TERMS DETAILS' tab will automatically be updated. Fulfilling the term contract means that when you access the table in 'TERMS DETAILS' tab, the value in 'TRADED QTY' is equal to the value in 'TOTAL QTY' and 'OUTSTANDING QTY' will be "0".
You may refer to Viewing Term Contract below for more details.

Viewing & Closing Deals

For example, in this case, 4,500 units ('OUTSTANDING QTY') have been purchased ("PURCHASE") and are outstanding as they have yet to be sold.
2. To close the trade, follow Step 9b above (Creating Term Contract). In this case, the 'Purchase/Sale' field will be "SALE" and 'Quantity' will be "2,000" to reflect the sale position of the trade. Follow through the steps and click 'Submit' to save your trade.
