A client order represents a single unit of business for which the customer pays a fee to the broker.  A client order represents the instruction from customer to trade a given security, in a given volume.

Who can manage client orders

Client orders can be managed by using the 

  1. KODIAK OMS Client   
  2. 3rd party solutions through the KODIAK Server API 

How to manage client orders

Traders can manage client orders in the Kodiak client.
  • Create - Client orders can be created by a Kodiak User or another system using the Kodiak API
  • Cancel - Users can cancel a client order
  • Modify - Users can modify client orders.
    • Once the order is on the market and the user wants to change the price or qty.  Then the underlying market order must be changed. 
  • Send to the market as a single market order - orders can be sent to a market as a single market order.
  • Create child order(s) - Client order can be sent to the market as one or more market orders.
  • Allocation - Client orders can be allocated to a back office system when they have been fully executed.
  • Reject - Traders can reject invalid client orders.

Throughout its lifetime a client order can have the following workflow statuses:

ComplexThe order status is complex if there are multiple child market orders or the quantity of the market order does not match the client order.

Modify client order

The modification window should be the same window as the create client order window.  With some user fields disabled and with update text on the buttons.  QTY and Price can be modified.
The following rules apply to the modification. 

FieldsDescription
QTYThe trader can choose to lower the client order QTY.
If the client order has 1 DMA market order.  Then the  DMA market order QTY is also modified.
If the client order has > 1 DMA market order then it is not possible to lower QTY.  The trader must modify each market order and then he can modify the client order.
If the client order has 1 or more manual market orders then the market orders have to be modified themselfes.

The trader can choose to raise the client order QTY. 
The modification does not affect the market orders.  The market orders QTY have to be modified them selfes.  After the modification the trader can send another order to the market.
PriceThe trader can modify the price.
If the client order has 1 DMA market order.  Then the market order price is also modified.

If the client order has > 1 market order then it is not possible to modify the price.  The market orders have to be changed themselfes.
If the client order has 1 or more manual orders then the market order has to be modified themselfes.
