Statements Delivery

Instructions

You can configure the default method of notification for daily and monthly Activity Statements and Daily Trade Reports and enable and configure delivery for your saved daily and monthly Activity Statements.

The Statements Delivery screen lets you set up notification and delivery preferences. Introducing Broker Masters can also specify delivery settings for client statements.

  • Notifications are delivered only when there is trading activity.
  • Under multi-account structures (for example, Registered Advisors and Introducing Brokers), they are only delivered for master accounts, not consolidated across individual client accounts.
  • Multi-account structures looking to receive daily or monthly statements on a consolidated basis should set up a customized activity statement for the master account user.

  1. Click Performance & Reports > Statements.

    • Alternatively, click Menu in the top left corner > Reporting > Statements.

  2. If you manage or maintain multiple accounts, the Account Selector opens. Search for and select an account.

    The Statements screen opens.
