Trade lists
What your trade is asked to carry.
96 trades, 776 documents between them. Each list says where every line came from — a regulator, our own reading of the trade, or what is standard in it — and each one prints on a single page so you can take it with you.
This is what we have written down. It is where a trade starts, not a complete legal inventory of everything it could ever be asked for, and a trade that is not here is one we have not done yet rather than one with no paperwork.
