Send trade orders to trading platforms
You can initiate trades in FA Back by selecting trade orders and sending them forward to the trading platform.
This functionality requires the following settings: Add trading platform information.
To send the trade orders to the trading platform:
Make sure the trade orders have the Trading channel tag defined in the Trade order window. You can either set this tag for every trade order by filling in the field, or use the decision table to automate the process (see Set the Trading channel tags in the FA Admin guide).
Go to Trade orders view, Trading - Waiting tab. This tab lists trade orders in the “Executable” status and Trading tag set to “Waiting”. Only orders with the “Executable” status can be sent to the trading platform.
Click Trading → Send trade orders to trading platform at the bottom of the view.
To track the status of the sent trade orders, see Follow trade orders sent to a trading platform.
Send cancellations or replacements to trading platforms
If you sent trade orders to trading platforms and they are not yet executed (trade order status In execution or Sent to execution), you can send cancellation or replacement requests to the trading platform:
Update the trade orders that you want to cancel or replace. Add the tag Trading status-Request cancel or Trading status-Request replace. If you want to cancel or replace multiple orders, filter the relevant orders in the Trade orders view and select Tag orders → Trading status-Request cancel or Tag orders → Trading status-Request replace at the bottom of the view.
Send the requests to the trading platform. Filter the orders in the Trade orders view and select Trading → Send order cancellations or replacements at the bottom of the view.
