Basket

Summary Descriptions

Neovest's Basket window provides you with the functionality to view your current portfolio, view and execute the orders, view a current record of your Basket window trading activity.

Neovest's Basket window is comprised of two main sections: (1) the "Blotter" section, and (2) the "Summary" section.

The Summary section lets you view current information regarding your Basket window trading activity. For instance, the Summary section displays various totals such as the total number of original shares that are displayed in the Blotter section, the total number of shares that have been sliced, the total number of shares that have been executed, and the total percent of your orders that are considered filled (or complete).

The Summary section also provides information regarding the percentage of shares that have been sliced for each order displayed in the Blotter section, the percentage of shares that have been sent for each order, the percentage of shares that have been filled for each order, and so on.

The Summary section also lets you view the total dollar and share values by side (i.e. "Buy," "Cover," "Sell," and "Short") of your executed and sent orders that are displayed in the Blotter section.

Additional features let you click on "Buy," "Sell," "Cover," or "Short" in the "Filter" field in the Summary section to filter the orders by side that you wish to see in a Neovest Basket window.

In addition, each time you choose to slice a single order or multiple orders simultaneously, Neovest will create a new folder for each slice and display the new folders as sub folders in the Summary section.

For instance, if you wish to buy 10,000 shares of DELL at $35 per share, you may choose to slice the order into three smaller slices. The first of the three slices may be set up to send 40 percent (or 4,000 shares) of the initial 10,000-share order, the second slice may be set up to send an additional 40 percent, and the final slice may be set up to send the remaining 20 percent (or 2,000 shares). Once you define the parameters of the slices for a particular order and click OK, Neovest will automatically create three new folders (one for each slice) and display the new folders as sub folders in the Summary section. Each of the three Summary section sub folders will allow you to (1) view and change the order parameters of each slice and (2) execute each slice.

Additionally, if you wish to slice more than one order at the same time, Neovest lets you slice multiple orders simultaneously into smaller slices using the same procedure as above. However, the end result will be slightly different in that each slice will be made up of multiple orders with only a percentage of each order assigned to each slice. Once you define the parameters of the slices for the orders and click OK, Neovest will automatically create one new folder for each slice and display the new folders as sub folders in the Summary section. Each of the new Summary section sub folders will allow you to (1) view and change the parameters of the orders in each slice and (2) execute each percentage order in each slice individually or all of the orders simultaneously.

In addition to the new sub folders that are created in the Summary section each time you choose to slice one or more orders, Neovest will create a temporary sub folder in the Summary section for each slice that is in pending status (or in the process of being filled). Each temporary folder will be displayed in the Summary section next to the time that the particular slice was sent from the Blotter section. Each of the temporary folders will allow you to (1) view and change the parameters of the order(s) in each slice and (2) cancel the order(s) in each slice if you wish.
