.The Emergency Controls page is used in the event you need to cancel any or all unexecuted (working) orders immediately as an emergency measure. Access the page from the Utilities menu found in the top right-hand corner of the browser:
.
This page was created in response to MiFID II kill functionality requirements.
You can cancel working orders by:
•FCM
•Sales Series
•Customer
•Account
•Route Group
•Trader
•Contract/Symbol
•Algorithm (MiFIDAlgoID)
Additionally, you can further define the scope of the request by:
•Buy or sell. Both is the default.
•Parked only.
•Current day only.
When you send the cancel request, you are asked to confirm this action. Please take special care in reviewing the criteria, as this action has significant consequences that cannot be undone.
The cancellation process can take several seconds depending on the number of orders to cancel.
When the orders have been cancelled, you are provided a summary, including the number of orders cancelled and possible errors. You can later search for cancelled orders using the Batch Request GUID, which is provided on the confirmation page.
