OtterBlotter: User Preferences / Standard Mode Configuration

When running in Standard Mode, OtterBlotter allows the user to configure the following preferences which are visible on the Control tab:

1. Max Fee Schedule: There are Rules that detect if commissions are excessive, and they look to the Max Fee schedule to determine the maximum percentage by Product Type. The Percentage is the absolute value of the commission divided by the total value of the trade.
   
2. Auto Export: If this is set to Y, the Export functionality will automatically be triggered after each OtterBlotter run completes. Otherwise, you will need to Export the results manually using the menu.

     

      Running in Advanced Mode will make additional configurations visible. It is possible to add additional parameters to this tab to support custom rules for your firm.
