All blotters can be customized to show only trader's position (select "Show My Activity" in drop down menu) or to show all users activities (select "Show All User Activity" in drop down menu) or to show particular user activity (select user@FXOne.com in drop down menu). This option is only available for Super User. |
There are three additional options in toolbar menu: "Clear Positions", "Clear Orders", "Clear Executions", "Clear Netted Trades".

Clearing the positions blotter removes positions form both the application and the server and can not be undone. Positions form new trades will not be displayed as offset against cleared positions.

Note also that positions will only be cleared for your UserID and not for any other user in your group even if you have a manager account and can see another user's positions. |

Clearing the orders blotter creates a filter that will discard old orders form the application. This operation can not be undone. Active orders won't be cleared. |

Clearing the executions blotter creates a filter that will discard old fills from the application. This operation can not be undone. |
