Overview

Establish trade-oriented security restrictions and enable exception handling of a security, security type, currency, account, client, or group. You can add simple restrictions (such as do not buy a particular security) or more complex restrictions. An account can have multiple restrictions.

When rebalancing accounts or a single security, you can turn restrictions on or off. For example, when an end-customer requests that a portfolio not maintain holdings of a particular security, add a restriction to the end-customer's account that prevents the current model from generating buy orders for that security.

You may import Trade Restrictions from another system. (Import Trade Restrictions)

You can right-click a row to display a shortcut menu containing options to Copy Selected Cell or Copy Selected Rows (either contiguous or non-contiguous). After you copy the cell, row, or rows, paste the information into another application, such as a spreadsheet. (When you copy a row or rows, column headers are included with the row information.)
