Introduction
In Tamarac, you can add securities and change specific settings for those securities, including adding category information, reporting information, setting trading restrictions, adding custom fields, and more. Editing these settings allow you to report and trade securities accurately.
If you have Tamarac Rebalancing, you can manage rebalancing-related settings for a specific security. This page discusses the specific settings available on the Rebalancing tab when you create or edit securities.
For more information on creating, editing, or deleting securities, see Maintain Securities.

The Trade File Group Settings page allows you to customize how specific securities behave at each of your custodians. To make changes, you'll first select a security. You'll then make any changes to the trade file group settings for individual custodians or for all trade file groups at once.
You can customize trade file group settings in the following ways:
-
Identify mutual funds as transaction fee funds.
-
Specify minimum investment settings.
-
Restrict security behavior or trading based on custodian
-
Define an ETF as exempt from fees.
-
Define custom output symbols for securities.
-
Set a settlement period and minimum holding period for a security.
-
Add a round trip restriction for a security, preventing a buy after a sell for the number of days you specify.
The Trade File Group settings you see for a security depend on the Trading Security Type.
Trade File Group settings can also be added and modified by upload. You can use the Trade Group Security Settings bulk report to create a report of your current settings. You can then update the information and upload the data back into Tamarac Trading.
