PCI trading operations

The following operations are available for PCI:

• Opening positions
• Closing positions
• Setting Position and Pending orders

The following operations are not available for PCI:

• Unlocking the positions
• Trailing Stop mode
• Setting OCO and Activation types of pending orders.

Features of PCI deals reflection in the terminal

In the trading system PCI deals are realized through deals on corresponding common instruments. An open PCI position can be presented as a set of open positions on common instruments that are called “base”. Base positions of PCI are linked to the corresponding PCI position.

Features of making PCI deals

PCI deals, like deals on common instruments, are made by “Make deal” and “Quick deal” windows.

In case of making PCI deals, the indicated windows have the following features:

• “Make deal” dialog allows viewing base deals before making a PCI deal.
• The deal is always made in Lock mode.
• Trailing stop mode is not available.

Features of setting PCI pending orders

PCI position orders, like orders on common instruments, are set through “Position orders” window. Pending orders are set through “Orders” window.

In case of setting PCI pending orders, the indicated windows have the following features:

• A Pending order is always executed in Lock mode.
• Trailing stop mode for pending orders is not available.
• “Orders” dialog allows viewing the base deals before setting PCI orders.
• In “Orders” dialog only pending orders are available; setting OCO and Activation orders are not available.

Features of display of PCI open positions

PCI open positions, like on common instruments are displayed in “Open positions” information window. Unlike common positions, in lines of PCI positions, in “Instrument” column, on the right of the composite instrument name a drop-down icon is displayed. Pressing it allows viewing base positions, included in PCI.

You can perform the same operations with PCI base positions, as with common open positions: closing, unlocking, setting orders. And in case of closing one of the base positions, PCI position breaks down. (see “Break down PCI position” subsection).

Features of display of PCI deals in Account History

PCI operations are considered in the Account History through the following special records:

• “PCI-position opening” – is added to the history when opening a PCI position.
• “PCI-position closure” – is added to the history when closing the PCI position.
• “PCI-position breakdown” – is added to the history when the PCI position breaks down.

In “Account History Report” information window both PCI deals and deals on instruments included in them are displayed. Moreover, for PCI base positions the “PCI position” column contains the PCI deal number, to which the base deal is related. For common deals that column is not filled.

When closing PCI positions, both PCI deals and deals on instruments included in it are reflected in “Account History Report”. Moreover, for PCI base positions “PCI position” column contains the PCI deal number, to which the base deal is related. Together with deals on instruments included in the PCI, profit/loss operations are reflected when making deals.

When PCI position breaks down (see “Break down PCI position” subsection) in “Account History Report” information window three operations are reflected: position break down, making a deal, leading to that break down and profit/loss resulted.

Break down PCI position

The user has an opportunity to break down the PCI position into separate base positions. In that case the PCI position stops existing (break down), and base positions previously included in it, become common open positions. To break down the PCI position, you should select “Break down PCI position” option from the context menu, called by right-clicking on it in “Open positions” information window.

Apart from explicit break down of the PCI position that is performed by the user, there may also be an implicit break down. Since any trading operation is allowed to be performed on base positions, in case of closing even one of them the PCI position can break down.

If the user is trying to perform an operation that may lead to the PCI position implicit break down, warning appears by default. Warnings can be disabled through “Settings –> Terminal –> Miscellaneous”.
