Filter Selected Positions

You can use the Selected Positions filter to filter positions that have been uploaded or available contracts that have been added by selecting contracts in the Available Contracts list view and clicking Add Position.

2. Enter the product group (Prod Grp), Class Grp, or Underlying symbol.

3. Select the instrument Type and enter the trading Symbol.

4. Select the series/contract date (Ser/Ctr Date) and the expiration date (Exp Date).

5. Select whether the contract is a Call or Put (C/P) and enter the valid Strike dollar amount (only valid for options).

6. Click OK. Your search results display in the Selected Positions list view.

7. In the Selected Positions list view, update the Clrng Firm, Account ID, Acct Type fields as needed.

8. Update the Quantity field. (The default quantity value is 0.)

9. After the records are updated, click Save.

10. Once a portfolio is created in the Selected Positions list view and all changes are saved, you can use the following buttons:

    • Submit:  Generates portfolio margin requirement results. The Results area appears containing the results.

    • Modify:  Open the Modify Position Records window, where you can change certain values for selected positions. Fields that can be changed are Clrng Firm number, Account ID, Acct Type, Quantity, and Bskt ID.

    • Add Stock: Open the Add Stock Record Not Included on P&L File window, where you can add a stock record that was not included in the date’s P&L files to the portfolio. Required fields include Acct Type, Symbol, USD Price, and Quantity.

      Note:  Stocks already included in the P&L File data are not permitted to be added to positions via this function; you must use the Available Contracts Filter to add stock records that display on the P&L File.

    • Delete:  Deletes records (All or Selected).

    • Export to: Exports the selected position records in either CSV or ASCII file formats.

    • Upload Position File: Imports a CSV/ASCII position file in order to generate portfolio margin requirements. A window box displays containing a browser to upload the file and Process Results. The results include:

      • Records Accepted

      • Records Rejected

      • Invalid Series: Record rejected because the contract specifics do not match master file data from selected P&L File date.

      • Total Records

    • Once the records have been verified, the user can Accept or Reject. If you click Accept, only the accepted positions are submitted for requirement calculation.

      Note:  Only accepted positions are submitted for requirement calculation. If there are errors, you can verify the error details by clicking Download Error Log. If the records are rejected due to field length, refer to the RBH User Guide for the position file layouts.

11. Once the files are submitted, the Results area appears containing the portfolio margin requirement results. Refer to View Portfolio Margin Calculation Results for more information.
