The PPro8 Summary displays the summary of a trader’s activities for the day.

1. On the PPro8 toolbar, click Summary.

2. The Summary window appears.

Note: the Summary window is Always Open upon PPro8 login.

Use the Summary Order Edit box to manage positions instead of just clicking Flatten. To use this function, follow these steps.

1. Open the Summary window.

2. Right-click a Position Layer, and then click New Order.

3. The Summary Order Edit Box appears.

4. Click or type order edit information as needed (gateway, side, shares, and other fields).

5. Click Execute.

6. The order is executed with the SOEB.

The Summary window automatically populates with information when an order is accepted. This information appears in Rows and Layers of different colors, which can be customized.

There can be many Rows for a single type. All of them show information summarized by the same characteristic of an execution. You can apply several row types on the Execution information on top of each other, to separate the summarized information by characteristics described on each Row.

There are ten row types in total: Global Total, RegionAsset, Trader, Symbol, Office, Market, Executions, Currency, and Position.

A Layer consists of these Rows added on top of each other. Each Layer shows the summary of information for the Rows on that layer, separated to show only information that matches the Row one Layer above.

When using Summary with several Layers of Rows, you can expand each Row to display further Rows showing information from one Layer below. Executions is always the last Layer on any summary view.

Note: the default currency in Summary: Execution is the local currency specific to the market of the symbol being tracked. For other layers, the default currency is USD.

The first Layer aggregates the information for all Executions that match that Layer’s row type. The second Layer aggregates all the information for all Executions that match both the Layer one row above, and the characteristic of that Layer 2 row’s type.

The first Layer shows one row per trader. The second Layer shows all the symbols traded by that trader. The third Layer shows all the executions for a symbol by the trader. Each trader row shows the aggregated information for all executions that match a particular trader. Each of the Symbol rows shows the aggregated information for all executions that match both the Trader ID (from the previous Layer) and the symbol from the current row’s Layer.

To display information for several row Layers, expand or collapse a row that has Layers below. When you load the summary it displays only the rows for the top Layer by default. You can then expand the summary view. For individual rows, you can use the Expand/Collapse function. This appears in the form of a plus sign next to each row. Click on the plus sign to expand the row, and on the minus sign to collapse it.

• When a row is collapsed, Summary displays an icon that looks like a square with a plus sign inside it:
• When a row is expanded, Summary displays an icon that looks like a square with a minus sign inside it:

Apply: after selecting a set of layers to use for Summary, click Apply to display changes. This button is always enabled and available for use.

Flatten: select the check box next to a row, and then click Flatten to flatten it. A Flatten request will cancel all open orders for the symbol. It will also cancel all scripts on the symbol, provided that the trader has a position or an open order on the symbol.

You can also flatten selected positions by right-clicking on the row, and then clicking Flatten Selected; or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F.

Note: to prevent large errors, you can automatically flatten only these row types: Symbols, Office, and Trader.

• Notes:
  • It is not possible to request a blotter Refresh while another is still running from either the same Summary window or another instance.
  • Summary now reports when the client received an OSTAT while a blotter Refresh was being processed which could cause a bad position or incorrect order state

Toggle Header: toggle the display of the Header by right-clicking a row, and then clicking Toggle Header; or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + H.

This feature allows trader’s to update their Gross PnL by Region-Asset Class. This is intended to serve as a psychological-aid to help traders focus on their trading, and less on current PnL. The impact is only superficial — affecting what appears in that Summary instance. The changes are on the client side only and as a result will not impact risk, or other user’s (ie. manager) views of the trader’s activity.

1. Right click on the Summary Window, and select “SummaryCustomization Dialog.”

2. Select the “Options” tab.

3. From this menu, you will be able to input the amount of gross PNL you would like to remove, for the specified region asset class. 4. Once entered, you will see that your Gross, as displayed in that Summary instance has been reduced by your input value.

• Note: Only whole numbers (integers) can be entered as acceptable values.
• Note: Fees are not affected.
• Note: Only impacts global and region asset class layers, and will not affect trader and symbol layers.

This tool allows you to view the status of your orders.

1. Open the execution layer by expanding any symbol in the Summary Tool.

2. Right click the execution, and select “Order Status Inquiry” from the pop up menu.
