⏰ Timer Template

📋 Description

Timer template is used to generate the trigger event based on Pre and Post Timer settings on Timer Square-Off Template for respective combination of Market Segment and Product Type. Once an event is generated respective action is taken as defined below.

Timer Template can be added in the combination of Market Segment + Product Type + DayName/Date. For same combination of (Market Segment + Product), Day Name Wise and Date Wise record is allowed to be added in single template.

Priority of validation is on “Date Wise” record and then “Day Name Wise” for same combination of Market Segment + Product Type.

⚙️ Timer Event Types

Pre-Timer Event

Action: Auto restrict the fresh position and restrict the position conversion of that respective combination (i.e. Segment + Product)

  • System should allow to define the Pre square-off time in the format of HH:MM:SS.

Post-Timer Event

Action: System will auto generate the request for "Cancellation of Pending Orders" first and then generate the Square-Off Open Position request for respective combination (i.e. Segment + Product).

  • On generating the Square-Off order for open position, system shall refer the "Default Base Exchange- Square-Off/Market Data" flag in Interop settings for the segments where Interop is ON and Square off Price Method and Square off LTP Percentage settings for square off price on Master Configuration.

🔗 Template Mapping

Mapping of a timer template to an Entity / Entity Profile / Entity Type can be done via Template Mapping option in the Template menu of ADMIN. Timer Template created here will be allowed to map to entities like Client, Dealer, Branch and Member as well as for users through the Template Mapping window.

📝 Template Creation

Square-off timing can be defined in the combination of Segment, Product and Day wise in template format. System should have following fields to create, view and fetch Template.

Template Configuration

Timer Templates can be added with combinations of:

  • Market Segment + Product Type + Day Name/Date

For the same combination of (Market Segment + Product), Day Name Wise and Date Wise records can be added in a single template.

🎯 Validation Priority

Validation priority: Date Wise record → Day Name Wise record (for same Market Segment + Product Type)

Template Controls

Control NameControl TypeBusiness Logic
TemplateEntry Field + Drop-downControl Type: Entry Field + Drop-Down list. Should allow to enter the Template Name with Alpha Numeric and allowable Special Characters. Template Name should not be more than length mentioned in API. Duplicate Timer template name creation should not be allowed. Should display the list of Template Name on search of Key Name. System should fetch and display the available records in the Timer Square-off gird view as per the template name/id selected in this field. System should allow to create multiple Timer Square-off template with different template name. Within a single template, system should allow to create timer configuration for multiple segments and products.
SaveButtonOn click of SAVE button, system should validate following conditions. Popup message should be displayed while on click of SAVE button without entering the template name. Popup String should be like “Template Name should not be blank”.
Save AsButton“SAVE AS” option is used to create the copy of existing template with new template name with a small modification in the records available in the existing template (or) without any modification. “Save As” option should get enabled after selecting the template Name in the “Template” drop-down list. On Click of “Save As” button - system should popup a child Window with label as: “Template” and an entry field should be available to enter the ‘New template Name’ with “OK” and “CANCEL” options. If “OK” is selected, then new Timer template should get saved into the system with all Timer Parameters configured in the template else if “CANCEL” is selected then Child window should get closed without saving the record. System should validate the New template name with the existing templates available in the system, if same name is entered, then system should popup an alert message as “Template Name Already Exists”.

💡 Configuration Examples

Example
Template: TIMER1 has following combination of record

Seg.Prod.Config TypeDay NameDatePre-TimerPost-Timer
ALLEQMarginDay WiseMON,TUE-15:00:0015:15:00
ALLFNOIntradayDay WiseMON,TUE-15:00:0015:15:00
ALLFNOIntradayDate-26/10/2314:45:0015:00:00

Scenario: ALLEQ + Margin (Day-based)

  • Pre-Trigger event at 15:00:00 on Monday and Tuesday: System should auto restrict fresh position and position conversion requests for ALLEQ segment on Margin product type.
  • Post-Trigger event at 15:15:00 on Monday and Tuesday: System should auto-generate cancellation of pending order requests and then auto-generate square-off open position requests for ALLEQ + Margin.

Scenario: ALLFNO + Intraday (Date-based)

  • System should consider Date wise record if current system date equals the defined date in the record.
  • On 26/10/2023, Pre-Trigger at 14:45:00 and Post-Trigger at 15:00:00. System should auto-restrict fresh positions and block position conversion at Pre-Trigger, then cancel pending orders and square-off open positions at Post-Trigger.

🔄 Square-off Price Determination

When Post-Timer triggers square-off orders:

  1. If Interop is ON: reference "Default Base Exchange - Square-Off/Market Data" flag.
  2. Use Square-off Price Method from Master Configuration.
  3. Apply Square-off LTP Percentage settings.

📊 Multi-Segment Configuration

Within a single template, system should allow to create timer configuration for multiple segments and products. The TIMER1 example above demonstrates multiple rows/configurations inside a single template.
