Trading : MTM Groups

When a contract is approved in the system, the system assigned the approved contract into a MTM group.

A MTM group is a placeholder where contracts are kept and valued on a daily basis based on the commodities and price series setup.

The Hierarchy of how contract is kept is: 1) Book 2) Stratey 3) MTM Group.

When a contract is first approved, the contract is assigned to a MTM Group in a "Default" Strategy of the Contract Book.

To view the MTM Group of a contract go to Trading and then to the Physical/Paper -> MTM Group tab.
