Netting
Netting is the process of consolidation of positions that occurs when two positions in the same instrument and on the same account are in opposite directions and thus fully or partially reduces the total market exposure in the instrument. It is the process in which a buy position and sell position is matched to remove both or yield a remainder if one is bigger than the other.
This netting will take place unless one or both of the existing positions have Related Orders pending on them.
Since an account may have many positions in the same instrument opened at various times, the client may choose to close them explicitly or implicitly.
Time of netting
For clients, two netting modes are available. In both cases, the final settlement still occurs at end of the day, but it can be practical to only see active open positions.
End of day
With End of day netting (EOD), positions remain open and visible until the nightly end-of-day (EOD) settlement processing.
Real-time netting (Intraday)
The main difference with Intraday netting is that positions are netted immediately on execution. They disappear from the Positions lists, details are available as new entries in the Closed Positions list.
How to enable or disable Real-time netting on the platform?
