Profiles
Profiles
Profile is a representation of a legal entity/individual entered into the system, containing data required for trading/back office/customer reporting/regulatory reporting/customer categorization.
A profile is the key entity of the trading system to which accounts and users are linked. Profiles are divided into 2 types:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Personal | personal profile is intended for setting up a client |
| Corporate | corporate profile is intended for setting up a corporate client |
The profiles have three statuses:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Unverified | an unverified profile status is given to the profile as soon as it is created |
| Active | active profile status is given to the profile after it has been activated in the profile card |
| Deleted | deleted profile status is given to the profile after it has been deleted from the profile card |
| Deactivated | if a profile has all its accounts closed, it may be assigned the Deactivated status, which will mean that all relations with the client are terminated; it cannot be activated back |
While the profile is in Unverified status, it can be deleted.
Upon the initial login, the Broker sees a pre-configured and profile activated by Unity.
Liquidity provider profiles for the broker are also pre-configured by Unity; however, they are not displayed in the broker's instance. Only the accounts of the broker's liquidity providers are accessible for display (for more details, see the section Accounts).
Liquidity providers supply the broker with prices and execute its orders, acting as direct counterparties to the broker in trading. A liquidity provider in the system can be another broker, an exchange, an external system, etc.
Create profile
Please note! A client profile can be created by the broker independently. A provider profile can also be created by the broker, but this only makes sense in cases where a bank account or counterparty account will be created for the profile in the future to account for transactions on the OTC market.
The Contract type specified for the profile will further determine the possibility of opening different types of accounts for it.
The Client and Provider type is common for the parent broker (provider) and the child broker (in this case, such a broker acts as a client) and is intended for creating shared accounts between two broker instances. A profile with this contract type can only be created by Unity administrators.
The Provider contract type is created by Unity if the profile is intended for the broker's liquidity provider. More details on this can be found in the Accounts section.
