1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Daily trading flow, cash trades and derivative trades must equal the sum of its two parts (EBA rule v11121_m)

A warning in the investment firms, class 2 return (IFR class 2), on templates I 04.00, k-factor requirement calculations and I 05.00, level of activity - thresholds review.

The rule in plain words

Daily trading flow - cash trades and derivative trades must equal daily trading flow - cash trades plus daily trading flow - derivative trades.

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

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

I_05.00: Daily trading flow - cash trades and derivative trades = I_04.00: Daily trading flow - Cash trades, Factor amount + I_04.00: Daily trading flow - Derivative trades, Factor amount

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark I 04.00 and I 05.00 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

What the rule then expects

Daily trading flow - cash trades and derivative trades must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 2,100 fails, by 100.

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