BRL Split Settlement

• Available only for Spot transactions in XOFF environment
• Available in RFS mode only
• A client must be specifically enabled for Split Settlement by Bloomberg
• Applicable only to specific currency pairs, like USD/BRL
• An enabled client can launch his RFQ FXGO icon and select "Subtype" as "Split Settlement"
• Then a client can change change base currency Settlement Date, which has "Flexible" label to the right, as on the screen shot below 

BRL is deliverable onshore.

Split settlement infers different tenors for each currency in the trade. I agree that if it's split settlement, with the same tenor, then it's not really split settlement at all although we allow the same value date to be applied to both currencies. Maybe I should consider an enhancement to product team that states that a split settlement trade should not have one value date.

I think we provide those for tags also when trades were done under MIFID.. Please refer to our FIX spec.

FXTG (FX Trading Grid)

FXSPOT for SPOT ccy pairs, G10's etc

FXFWD are for pre spot ccy pairs Example EUR/RUB (russian/baltic regional banks) - Only a handful of our dealers are enabled for this. This wouldn't be relevant for you.

FXNDF - Can be traded if supported OFF-FACILITY and ON /SEF / MTF / TFE

SWAPS are not supported at all in FXTG and can be ignored.
