Other Information

Auto Settle Trade Indicator

58

Indicates whether the system settles the trade automatically. If the entity's Auto Settle Indicator field is set to Yes, as specified on the Create/Edit Entity or Create Master Fund panels, the system creates a settlement when the trade is processed. There is no trade to settle date gain/loss. This applies even if the settlement date is in the future. Eagle recommends that you set the Auto Settle Indicator field to No for the entity and trade panels. Options include:

  • Yes. The system automatically settles the trade. The system retrieves the settle date FX rate if the local currency does not equal base and generates a trade to settle date gain/loss.

  • No. Default. The system does not automatically settle the trade. You must schedule the settlement for these transactions using the Run Contract Cash global panel. Or, manually settle the transactions using the Run Multiple Settlements panel. If you use cash segregation based on actual cash settlements, you can schedule settlements using the Run Cash Auto Match panel and create settlements manually using Cash Matching.
