Utility of the Execution Grid

The Execution Grid serves as a fundamental tool for immediate post-trade review and ongoing analysis. While it provides a direct and straightforward view of executed trades, for more in-depth analysis or complex data manipulation, users are directed to the Result Analysis module, which offers advanced functionalities like grouping, deeper data mining, and comprehensive analytical tools.

By maintaining a simplified yet comprehensive grid structure, the Executions Module ensures that traders can quickly access and review their trade executions without the overhead of more complex system features, making it an efficient tool for everyday trading operations.
