Instrument card

The feature allows you to view detailed information about a specific trading instrument (stocks, bonds, futures, and other assets) with full configuration of all necessary parameters. All instruments available on the platform at the current moment are displayed in the Instruments section.

Main block (Overview)

The block contains information about the instrument necessary for its identification and classification in the system.

Parameter	Description
Ticker	Unique letter code of the instrument (for example, BARC for Barclays)
Code	Unique code in the system, used for internal identification (for example, BARC.LSE for a stock on the London Stock Exchange)
Category	Type of instrument (stocks, bonds, futures, etc.).
Name	Full name of the company or instrument (for example, Barclays)
Description	Additional information about the instrument for reference
Trading on weekends	Checkbox determines the availability of the instrument for trading on weekends. To enable such trading, it is also necessary to configure schedules for the instrument that include weekends.

Assets

The block defines the base and quoted assets of the traded instrument.

Parameter	Description
Quoted asset	Currency in which the instrument is quoted (for example, USD).
Base asset	The main asset on which the price is calculated (for example, AAPL.NASDAQ).
Cross-assets	When a cross-asset is set, the system will take into account the holidays defined for it in the trading instrument's schedule.

Note! The platform will not allow trading of the instrument on the days specified in the schedule of the base, quoted, or cross-asset.

Option settings (only for option instruments)

Style - determines the exercise date of the option: American - can be exercised at any time before the expiration date, European - only on that date. Deliverable - checkbox determines whether actual delivery of the asset will occur upon exercise.

Size settings

The block configures the lot parameters and price measurement unit for the instrument.

Parameters:

Minimum order size (in lots) defines the minimum number of lots that can be placed in a single trade order.

Lot size defines the volume of the instrument that goes into one lot. Affects the quoted volume of orders/trades placed, as well as calculations in the system.

Example of quoted volume calculation: - Instrument Lot size = 100 - Current instrument price = 250 - Trade volume = 1 Then quoted volume in the trade = 100 * 250 * 1 = 25,000 (units)

Price measurement unit determines in what units of the quoted asset the price of the base is displayed.

For example: - Currency per unit for AAPL.NASDAQ means that the price of the base asset is displayed in whole values of the quoted asset (i.e., 1 USD, since USD is the quoted asset for the specified instrument); - Pence per unit for RR.LSE means that the price is displayed in pence per unit of the base asset (i.e., 1/100 GBP, since GBP is the quoted asset for the specified instrument).

Size settings for bonds

Face value - nominal value of the bond. May be equal to the minimum order size or lot size.

Exchange settings

The block defines the parameters of the exchange and country where the instrument is traded. Intended for more convenient filtering at the level of Instrument Groups.

Parameter	Description
Exchange	Name of the exchange where the instrument is traded (for example, London Stock Exchange).
Country	Exchange jurisdiction.

Other settings

The block includes other instrument parameters necessary for calculations and reference data:

MPI (Minimum Price Increment) - minimum price change step. Determines the value by which the price in the ticker changes minimally.

Example:

• Instrument price (received by the platform): 272.0533
• Instrument MPI: 0.05 (second decimal place)
• Instrument price will be displayed in the platform as: 272.05

MPI is also used when setting tariffs and Interest rates in points.

The section defines the available settlement terms for execution of contracts (tenors) for the instrument (not used for option instruments):

Parameter	Description

Expiration	Expiration date (for futures instruments), on which the contract period ends and its execution (closing) takes place.

The dividend table consists of the following fields:
