From idea to order

  1. 1

    Pick the product

    Search for any share, option or future within MFAM's licence.

  2. 2

    Pre-agreed size

    Each client's size comes from their own instruction: a percent of the account, a dollar amount, or a maximum risk.

  3. 3

    Idea goes out

    Sent to each client by email and SMS.

  4. 4

    Client authorises

    The client replies to the email or SMS to authorise the trade, or to decline it.

  5. 5

    Order placed

    The order goes to Interactive Brokers.

A trade idea as an email and as an SMS on a phone, with the client replying YES to authorise

What it takes off your desk

No ringing round

One idea reaches every client at once by email and SMS. Clients reply when it suits them, instead of you calling each one.

No order entry

Each authorised order is sized and placed for you, so the same trade is never typed into twenty accounts.

Every client sized to their instruction

Each client sets their size up front by percent, dollar amount or maximum risk, and the system calculates it for every trade.

Authorisations on record

Every reply is stored against the trade as the authorisation record.

Any share, option or future within MFAM's licence

Shares, options and futures

Search or pick from a list. Anything within MFAM's licence can go into an idea.

Spreads as one order

Every leg goes in as one order, so the legs fill together.

Shares and spreads, priced within a range

A price range up front

The idea gives a range, for example buy the shares between $4.80 and $5.00, or sell the spread for 20 to 25 points. The client authorises that range.

Placed on authorisation

Each authorised order goes in at the trade's current limit, starting at the best price in the range for the client.

One price for every client

The adviser watches the live bid and ask and moves the limit up or down within the range. One change updates every open order in the trade.

First yes, first in

Orders are placed and updated in the order clients authorised them.

Three ways a client can set their size

Percent of the account

A set percent of the client's account on each trade.

Dollar amount

For example a $20,000 position. The system works out the shares or contracts.

Maximum risk

For example a $20,000 maximum loss on a spread. The system works out the contracts.

Order types

At the open

Market or limit on open, into the opening auction where volume is deepest.

At the close

Market or limit on close, into the closing auction.

Limit

Your price or better during the day. Set it through the market to fill straight away.

The client stays in control

This is general advice, and each client authorises every trade in their account.

  • Authorised by reply to email or SMS
  • Auction or limit price on every order
  • Placed at Interactive Brokers
