Glass has a flexible, easy to use restricted list manager. There are three types of restriction classifications:
- Allowed - the user will submit a trade for pre-clearance, but the transaction will be automatically approved
- Approval Required - a task is generated for the admin(s) to review and approve/deny the trading request
- Blocked - The user is unable to enter a request for the security
Quick Note about Options
Glass automatically adds the restriction type given to the equity for all option chains. As an example, if the admin set the restriction type for Apple to blocked, all underlying Apple options would also be blocked.
Default Restriction Type
The first step is to set the default restriction on a security. The default restriction will apply to all securities that have not been configured by the admin(s) on the restricted list. Click here to find out more about configuring your default restriction type.
