The default color-coding of the Ticket view is based on the following:
Ticket Side - the background color of the Side column is blue for Buy Tickets and red for Sell Tickets.
Ticket Status - indicates whether a Ticket is Open, Cancelled, Partial(ly filled), Filled, or Failed.
Supervised Ticket - a brown background indicates whether a Ticket was entered by a User ID you supervise, and the color of the text indicates the Ticket status.
You can change the Ticket view’s color-coding through the Style tab of Properties dialog box; see the Style Tab topic for more information.
Right-click the Messages pane, select New Ticket, and a Ticket Entry dialog box appears.
Complete the necessary fields; see the Ticket Entry Dialog Box topic for more information.
Click [Submit], and the Ticket you entered appears in the Ticket view.
Select the Ticket(s)
you want to cancel in the Messages pane, and click the Cancel
button on the Toolbar.
OR
Right-click the Ticket you want to cancel in the Messages pane, and
select Cancel Ticket.
The following message appears:
WARNING: You are about to cancel [x] ticket(s) and [x] associated order(s). Are you sure you want to do this?
[x] ticket(s) represents the number of tickets you selected in the Messages pane; [x] associated order(s) represents the number of order associated with the Ticket that have been submitted, but have not yet been executed.
Click [Yes] to cancel the Ticket and the associated orders.
Once the Ticket(s) and associated order(s) have been cancelled, the Ticket(s) changes to blue and the Stat (Status) is Cancelled.
Double-click a Ticket in the Messages pane, or right-click it and select Update Ticket from the shortcut menu, and a Ticket Entry dialog box appears with the Ticket’s detail populated.
Modify the available fields as necessary; the primary values of the Ticket, Side and Symbol, cannot be changed.
If you need to modify the Ticket’s Side or Symbol, you must replace the Ticket with a new one. Click [Refresh] and enter a new Ticket; see the Ticket Entry Dialog Box topic for specific processing instructions. Once you have created the new Ticket, you can return to the Message Monitor’s Ticket view, and cancel the original one. See To cancel a Ticket for more information.
When finished, click [Submit].
You can indicate that you have completed a Ticket, regardless of its current Lvs. Simply right-click the Ticket you want to mark as completed, and select Mark Ticket as Complete from the shortcut menu. The Ticket changes to green and the Stat (Status) is Completed.
Orders associated with the Ticket that have already been submitted (but have not yet been executed) can still be executed.
Right-click a Ticket in the Messages pane, select Open Monitor from the shortcut menu, and then Order Entry, Montage, Equity Doneaway, or Guide.
The corresponding dialog or monitor appears with the Side, Symbol, and remaining Quantity ( Lvs) of the Ticket you selected. All other fields are populated based on your default settings. Modify the Quantity and any fields besides the Side and Symbol as necessary.
When finished, click [Submit].
Right-click a Ticket(s) in the Messages pane whose Order Execution Quantity (i.e., shares corresponding to the Ticket that have been executed) you want to allocate to another account(s), select Manual Allocations from the shortcut menu, and the Allocations dialog box appears.
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.
Executions with the same primary Side (e.g., Bought, Sold) can be combined into a single row or displayed as separate rows. When the Combine Long and Short checkbox is cleared, a single data row may be split into several based on the Side associated with the trade (e.g., Sell Short). For example, if you sold some shares of a stock long and others short, a single data row of IBM Sold 500 120.00 might appear like this:
IBM Sold 200 120.00
IBM Sold Short 300 120.00
Select or clear the Pro-rated updates checkbox based on your processing preference for the Allocate shares to list box.
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.

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.
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.
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 Allocated and Remaining fields at the bottom of the dialog box are populated based on your data you enter in the Allocate shares to list box. The Remaining fields will be blank when 100% of the TotalQuantity has been allocated.
If you are entitled for Multi-Avg Pricing, you can modify the AvgPrice corresponding to the shares you allocate, provided that:
You selected multiple rows with the same Symbol, Side, and Account, but different execution prices.
The modified prices remain within the range of the original execution prices; for example, if you selected rows with executions with prices of $10.50 and $10.54, the modified AvgPrice values must stay within that range.
The Allocations dialog automatically adjusts the AvgPrice of the Remaining shares as you process your allocations.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 to allocate shares to additional accounts.
The shares allocated must total 100% of the TotalQuantity corresponding to the row you selected in the top list box.
You can apply an existing allocation template to the shares by selecting it from the <Manual Allocation> drop-down list box. Once applied, the details in the Allocate shares to list box can be modified as necessary.
When finished, click [Submit] to process the allocations.
Select the row corresponding to the shares you want to allocate from the Messages pane.
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 of the executions corresponding to the row you selected.
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).
Right-click the row in the Execution or Doneaway view corresponding to your original allocation of shares, and select ReinstateAllocation from the shortcut menu.
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 executions. If you want, you can then reallocate the shares.
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.
Right-click the Ticket view, select Create/Edit Allocation Template from the shortcut menu, and the Create Templates tab of the Allocations dialog box appears.
Click [New], and a default name [Template (X)] appears and is selected in the Name drop-down list box.
Replace the default template name with a meaningful label.
Select or clear the Pro-rated updates checkbox based on your processing preference for the Allocate shares to list box.
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

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.
