FX Sales configuration

This page lists the configuration options for FX Sales.

Editing configuration options

To customise the configuration, assign new values to properties of the ExtendedAppConfig object in the file /salestrader/default-aspect/src/caplinx/ExtendedAppConfig.js. The default configuration is defined in the file /salestrader/default-aspect/src/caplinx/AppConfig.js, which should not be edited directly.

The contents of the file /salestrader/default-aspect/src/caplinx/AppConfig.js will change in future releases of FX Sales. To avoid merging your configuration changes with future changes to AppConfig.js, add your configuration to the ExtendedAppConfig.js file.

For example, to enable the auto-quoting feature in sales tickets, set the value of the CAPLIN.MOTF.TICKET.AUTO_QUOTE property on the ExtendedAppConfig object to true:

'use strict';

var AppConfig = require('caplinx/AppConfig');

/**
 * Customer config overrides that differ from the default ones
 * in {@link module:caplinx/AppConfig} should be placed here.
 */
var ExtendedAppConfig = AppConfig;

// Example: Enable auto-quoting in sales tickets
ExtendedAppConfig['CAPLIN.MOTF.TICKET.AUTO_QUOTE'] = true;

module.exports = ExtendedAppConfig;

Requesting a quote using a ticket opened from an FX tile
Auto-Quote Behaviour

Enabled

The quote is automatically requested.

Disabled

The user clicks Get quote to request a quote.
Changing a quote’s parameters and re-quoting
Auto-Quote Behaviour

Enabled

The user can edit the quote’s parameters on-the-fly. If the Amount or Settlement parameters are changed, then the ticket automatically requests a new quote. By default, the existing quote’s margins are retained in the new quote. To reset the margins when requoting, see CAPLIN.MOTF.TICKET.MARGIN.APPLY_DEFAULT_ON_REQUOTE.

Disabled

To change the quote’s parameters, the user must cancel the current quote, edit the parameters of the trade, and click Get quote to request a new quote.

CAPLIN.MOTF.TICKET.CLIENT_RATE_ALWAYS_EDITABLE

Overrides the default behaviour for when a client-rate field can, and cannot, be edited. By default, rates and margins are only editable when they are locked (fixed). Locks are mutually exclusive: when a quote’s margin is locked (fixed), the quote’s client-rate is unlocked (floating).

  • Set this option to true to allow a user to edit the client-rate field regardless of whether the user has locked the client-rate.

  • Set this option to false to allow a user to edit the client-rate field only when the user has locked the client-rate.

  • Set to true to label rates in terms of the base currency. For example, the bid rate for GBPUSD would be labelled as "Bank buys GBP".

  • Set to false to label rates in terms of the quote (term) currency. For example, the bid rate for GBPUSD would be labelled as "Bank sells USD".

Type

Boolean

Valid values

true, false

Default value

true
Example
ExtendedAppConfig['CAPLIN.MOTF.TICKET.EXECUTE.BUTTON.UPDATE.SIDE'] = false;

Type

Boolean

Valid values

true, false

Default value

true
Example
ExtendedAppConfig['CAPLIN.MOTF.TICKET.LOCKING_MODE'] = false;

CAPLIN.MOTF.TICKET.MARGIN.APPLY_DEFAULT_ON_REQUOTE

When Auto-Quoting is enabled, this option determines whether margins should reset to the client’s default margin on re-quoting. Tickets automatically request a re-quote if Auto-Quoting is enabled and a change is made to a quote’s Amount field or Settlement field.

  • Set to true to requote using the client’s default margins, as supplied by the DefaultSpotMargin field and the DefaultFwdMargin field in the pricing stream.

  • Set to false to re-quote using the current margins in the ticket.

true, false

Default value

false
Example
ExtendedAppConfig['CAPLIN.MOTF.TICKET.MISSED_TRADE.REQUIRE_LOCKED_SIDE'] = true;

CAPLIN.MOTF.TICKET.RATE.APPLY_MARGIN_ROUNDING

Whether to round or truncate margins that have a higher precision than their fields' display precision. The display precision, in decimal places (dps), is specified in the SpotRateDPS and AllInRateDPS fields in the trader-rate stream. When a margin field’s raw value has a higher precision than the margin field’s display precision, the field is highlighted and the raw value is displayed in the field’s tooltip.

  • Set this option to true to round high-precision margins. Ask margins are rounded up; bid margins are rounded down. For example, an ask margin of 1.115 rounded to a dps of 2 is 1.12, and a bid margin of 1.115 rounded to a dps of 2 is 1.11.

  • Set this option to false to truncate high-precision margins. For example, an ask or bid margin of 1.115 truncated to a dps value of 2 is 1.11.

High-precision all-in-margins are always rounded to the AllInRateDPS (up for ask; down for bid). On executing a trade, the raw spot margin is adjusted (if required) so that raw_trader_rate ± raw_all-in-margin = rounded_all-in-margin.

CAPLIN.MOTF.TICKET.SWAP_REVERT_SPOT_SWITCH

When supplying a swap quote to FX Sales, the FX Integration API (FX API) switches the values in the bid and ask fields of the swap’s near leg. FX Sales requires that bid and ask values are in their correct fields, so by default FX Sales is configured to revert the switch made by the FX API.

  • Set this option to true to revert the switch made by the FX Integration API.

  • Set this option to false to accept the fields as they are supplied by the FX Integration API.

The default configuration (set to true) is suitable for the majority of architectures, but if a backend pricing system supplies the FX API with switched near-leg field values, then the switch performed by the FX API will be enough to correct the format of the near-leg, and FX Sales should not revert FX API’s switch.

Type

Boolean

Valid values

true, false

Default value

true
Example
ExtendedAppConfig['CAPLIN.MOTF.TICKET.SWAP_REVERT_SPOT_SWITCH'] = false;

CAPLIN.MOTF.TICKET.TIMEOUTBAR.RUN.LOW.ENABLED

var TYPES = require("cps-unregistered-client-dealing/UnregisteredClientDealingConstants")
  .TYPES;

ExtendedAppConfig['UNREGISTERED.CLIENT.DEALING.CONFIG'] = {
  UK: { (1)
    FirstName: {
      type: TYPES.TEXT,
      label: "First name",
      validators: [new NotEmptyValidator("Value should not be empty")]
