• BLOTTER
  
  Is a trading record which is prepared for each business day. Often this is the primary data entry for a dealer or proprietary trader. Orders are recorded in a chronological sequence. When customer orders are involved, the price, quantity, instrument and customer identification are recorded. Also, time stamping of the order is required. This time stamping typically occurs on the order ticket. Often tickets and blotters are interchangeable.
