The rule in plain words
Daily trading flow - derivative trades must equal total DTF - derivative trades (average amounts).
All the values are in the factor amount column (0010).
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.
I_04.00: Daily trading flow - Derivative trades, Factor amount = I_06.12: Total DTF - derivative trades (average amounts), Month t
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02The two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark I 04.00 and I 06.12 as reported.
- 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.
Total DTF - derivative trades (average amounts) must then be 1,200.
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.
