Update type for position
Tyronne Silva / Millennium IT 15 Jan 2012 12:34PM ET I'm looking pass the details of the current position from a post-trade system to a trading platform. The message I am planning to use for this is the Position Report (AP) message in unsolicited form. I need to also pass information on the reason that the position is being updated (eg: Trade, liquidations, position change, exercise, settlement)- in other words the position equivalent of the ExecType. While there is a PosTransType (709) field it seems to be designed to capture a range of transactions that the position owner can carry out on the position (as opposed to all updates that can take place on the position) and is therefore linked to the PositionMaintanence messages.
Does anybody have any thoughts on this, or any knowledge of existing practices that have addressed the same need?
