Daily trading flow, cash trades must equal total DTF, cash trades (average amounts) (EBA rule v11118_m)

A warning in the investment firms, class 2 return (IFR class 2), on templates I 04.00, k-factor requirement calculations and I 06.12, daily trading flow - DTF additional detail.

The rule in plain words

Daily trading flow - cash trades must equal total DTF - cash trades (average amounts).

All the values are in the factor amount column (0010).

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.

I_04.00: Daily trading flow - Cash trades, Factor amount = I_06.12: Total DTF - cash trades (average amounts), Month t

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark I 04.00 and I 06.12 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Daily trading flow - cash trades1,200
What the rule then expects

Total DTF - cash trades (average amounts) must then be 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
