Introduction
From either the Top of House or By Entity views you can build trades for execution through your external trade platform (FXall, 360t, FXGO). The suggested trades take into account the current exposures and existing hedges to determine your unhedged risk and suggest a trade against your policy targets and create a trade request. The system suggests the trade amount and tracks the entity requested based on the view. This works in conjunction with your preset Back to Back entity, if you are trading through a non-street facing entity. Once chosen, additional selections are available to support your accounting and reporting workflows.
