Doing Things
To enter your first sample trades and/or Assets in Molecule, we recommend using the #demo book, which by convention is ignored in reports. Try:
- How to Clone a Trade - to easily enter a new trade, starting with one of the samples. If you're ready to try entering a trade from scratch, try How to Enter a Trade and How to Book a Trade via NLP.
- Importing Asset Data - to upload Asset-related data
- How to Import Market Data (Curves)
- How to Use the Valuations Screen - and the corresponding detail around Valuation Outputs
- Downloading Raw Data
