Doneaway View

The Message Monitor’s Doneaway view displays executed trades that were not originally submitted through the REDIPlus system, but were captured in the Doneaway Entry dialog box, the Option Doneaway Entry dialog box, the Specialist Trade Entry dialog box, the Future Trade Entry dialog box, or the Option Trade Entry dialog box.

The Doneaway Total bar displays the number of Doneaway entries by default. You can add or remove values from the Doneaway Total bar through the Fields tab on the Properties dialog box; see the Fields Tab topic for more information.

To update a Doneaway entry

  1. Double-click an order in the Messages pane or right-click it and select Update from the shortcut menu, and a Doneaway Entry, Option Doneaway Entry, Specialist Trade Entry, etc. dialog box appears with the order’s detail populated.

  2. Modify the available fields. If you need to modify a field that is not available, cancel the Doneaway/Trade entry (right-click and select Cancel from the shortcut menu), and enter a new one. Refer to corresponding dialog box topics for specific processing instructions.

  3. Click [Submit].

To delete a Doneaway entry

  1. Right-click the Doneaway you want to delete, and the shortcut menu appears.

  2. Select Cancel.

To manually allocate shares

  1. Right-click one or more rows whose shares you want to allocate to another account(s) in the Messages pane, select Manual Allocations from the shortcut menu, and the Allocations dialog box appears.

  1. The details corresponding to the row(s) you selected (Symbol, Side, TotalQuantity, AvgPrice) are displayed in the top list box. Rows with the same Symbol, Side, and Account are automatically combined, and shares will be allocated based on the average price. Select the row corresponding to the shares you want to allocate from the top list box.

IBM Sold Short 300 120.00

  1. Select or clear the Pro-rated updates checkbox based on your processing preference for the Allocate shares to list box.

20/50 = X/40    X = 800/50 = 16

30/50 = X/40    X = 1200/50 = 24

Therefore, the pro-rated update results in 16%, 60%, and 24% of the shares allocated to the three accounts respectively.

The Pro-rated updates functionality also performs rounding operations when necessary.

If the checkbox is cleared, the user must manually adjust the other accounts’ % so that the total allocation percentage equals 100.0.

  1. Click the first cell in the Account column of the Allocate shares to list box and a drop-down arrow appears. Click the drop-down arrow and select the first account to which you want to allocate shares.

  2. Enter the portion of the Total Quantity (shares) to be allocated to the account you selected by clicking and entering the value in the adjacent Qty or % column. Based on your entry, the corresponding AvgPrice and Total [share value (Qty x AvgPrice)] are populated.

The Allocations dialog automatically adjusts the AvgPrice of the Remaining shares as you process your allocations.

  1. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to allocate shares to additional accounts.

  1. When finished, click [Submit] to process the allocations.

To allocate shares using a template

  1. Select the row(s) corresponding to the shares you want to allocate from the Messages pane.

  1. Right-click the Messages pane, select Allocation templates from the shortcut menu, and then the desired template from the submenu. Shares will automatically be allocated based on the Accounts and % specified in the template, and the TotalQuantity and AvgPrice corresponding to the row(s) you selected.

To reinstate an allocation

You can reinstate (reverse) an allocation you’ve made. Once reinstated, you can allocate the shares differently or leave them as they were allocated in the original execution(s).

  1. Right-click the row in the Doneaway view corresponding to your original allocation of shares, and select ReinstateAllocation from the shortcut menu.

  2. A REDIPlus confirmation message appears, asking: “Are you sure you want to reinstate selected allocations?” Click [Yes], and the rows corresponding to your original allocation of shares are replaced by the original Doneaways. If you want, you can then reallocate the shares.

To create a new allocation template

You can create allocation templates that establish the standard allocation (percentage) of shares to specific accounts. Once created, allocation templates can be applied to executions in a single step, making the allocation process easier.

  1. Right-click the Doneaway view, select Create/Edit Allocation Template from the shortcut menu, and the Create Templates tab of the Allocations dialog box appears.

  2. Click [New], and a default name [Template (X)] appears and is selected in the Name drop-down list box.

  3. Replace the default template name with a meaningful label.

  4. Select or clear the Pro-rated updates checkbox based on your processing preference for the Allocate shares to list box.

  5. If the Pro-rated updates checkbox is selected, individual updates will override established allocations to prevent an imbalance. The ratio of shares allocated to the accounts (those other than the one that is updated) will remain constant to each other when adjusted so that the Total % equals 100. For example, if you have allocated shares between three accounts (20%, 50%, 30%), and then increase the second account's % to 60.0, the percentage of shares allocated to the other two accounts (which must total 40% to keep the Total % equal to 100.0) will be automatically pro-rated as follows:

    The two other accounts originally made up 50% of the total % allocated, and the ratio of shares allocated to these accounts is represented by 20/50 and 30/50 respectively. The calculation below seeks to maintain this ratio when the two accounts make up 40% of the total % allocated.

20/50 = X/40    X = 800/50 = 16

30/50 = X/40    X = 1200/50 = 24

Therefore, the pro-rated update results in 16%, 60%, and 24% of the shares allocated to the three accounts respectively.
