Manage SCALE Transactions
To view all SCALE transactions, go to Menu > FX > Manage > SCALE Transactions
By default, transactions executed in the past 24 hours will be reflected here. Use the filter icon to view transactions based on your requirements.
Please note the following point when the filter options are used.
- If only the ‘Account’ filter is used, only transactions done in the past 24 hours will be shown
- If the ‘Account’ and either ‘Settlement Date’ or ‘Trade Date’ filters are used, transactions for that specific account and date range will be shown
- For ‘Trade Date’ and ‘Settlement Date’, only a date range of 7 days is allowed
- Only one date filter can be used in a single search ie if one date filter is already applied and the second date filter is selected, this will cause the former to be reset
The available statuses for the transactions are ‘Aggregated’ (Green), ‘Pending Aggregation’ (Amber) and ‘Failed’ (Red). Aggregated trades will have the downstream references.
Click the ‘Export Transaction’ button on the top right hand corner of the screen to download the transactions list in CSV format.
