Transactions: Commission, fees, and taxes support for cash transactions
Support for commissions, fees, and taxes has been expanded to include all cash transactions, in addition to trading transactions. The following improvements have been included in the widgets and EOD reports:
- Transactions widget: Commissions and Fees fields added to the Add/Update Transaction dialog.
- EOD reports: Commission and Fee columns added to EOD Transfers reports.
- Account Statement: Commission and Fee columns added to the Cash Adjustments section.
Mobile
Option to make 2FA mandatory for users
Previously, two-factor authentication was optional for all platform users. For those brokers who wish to ensure that their users have extra protection during logging in, 2FA can be made mandatory for both web and mobile environments.
If 2FA is set as mandatory during platform configuration, the mobile client now checks if it is set for a user and initiates the 2FA process update. Users are unable to cancel or bypass the 2FA process.
2FA settings management
This release includes enhanced two-factor authentication settings management. The system can allow users to enable 2FA (if set to OPTIONAL and not enabled by the user), to disable 2FA (unless 2FA is set to MANDATORY), to get available one-time backup codes or generate new ones, and move to another device.
OMS
Automatic liquidation for accounts with options
In previous releases, the platform was able to initiate automatic liquidation of equities accounts, that is, to close all positions if the calculated risk was greater than the collateral. In this release, automatic liquidation is supported for options strategies, where the system determines the optimum order for closing positions, especially for partial liquidation.
Now, accounts with options can be liquidated fully – by parallel multileg closing orders for each underlying, or partially – by a queue of multileg closing orders for each identified strategy ranged by initial margin.
API
dxSCA updates
This release continues the overhaul of dxSCA API (REST API). Now, the platform officially supports integrations through REST API, meaning that customers can integrate the platform back-end with alternative interfaces (e.g., customized strategies, etc) in addition to supported trading terminals.
API documentation available online
All API specifications for DXtrade XT including FIX Trading API, REST API, Notifications API, and Administrative REST API have been made available to the public online. Customers are free to access the documentation at: [https://<platform.address>/specs].
