Trader ID

Trader ID identifies the person who executed a trade without revealing his or her username. Institutional account master users use this page to enable Trader ID and view a list of all Trader IDs and their corresponding users, usernames and account IDs.

Once enabled, all users for the master and client/sub accounts will be assigned a unique Trader ID; and the Trader ID field will be displayed in the Activity and Trade Confirmation Flex Queries.
