Order Status

The Order Status page contains several main sections: 1) account information, 2) bond description, 3) dealer contact (may not show for non-trader users), 4) offering, and 5) order status history.

The account information section identifies the broker that placed the order and other information that may be needed to complete the trade.

The bond description section contains a brief description of the security for which the order has been placed.

The dealer contact section contains information that the trader needs in order to contact the trader that is offering the bonds and purchase them.

The offering section list the offering time, quantity offered, and the prices, yields, markups and commission amounts at each level of the transaction. The extended monies for the final customer purchase price are listed at the bottom-right.

In the bottom-left of the Order Status page are a memo field that may be used to save a note or message with the order and the order status history. The order status history shows a chronological listing of all of the changes that have taken place to the order and the name of the person making the change.

Buttons that contain the actions that may be performed on the order are shown at the bottom of the page. These may include actions such as 'Confirm', 'Reject', or 'Modify' depending on the status of the order.
