UniPaulThanks for your answer. I'm afraid I'm one of those people who have no fucking clue. What does "Rebooking Trades" mean?

Figuring this out on your own entails a technically involved 3-stage process, so I'll give you a break. But allow me to illustrate the process, so you learn for next time. Something about teaching a man to fish.

Stage (1) - Examine the words "rebooking trades," studying them for meaning (1)(a) Understand that "Re-" is a prefix typically indicating repetition of an action. (Note 1) (1)(b) Understand that "booking" must be a process relating to "trades"

Stage (2) - Use the internet to interpret for the rest (2)(a) Google the following string, including quotation marks: "booking a trade" finance (2)(b) Identify relevant search results. (Note 2) (2)(c) Learn what "booking trades" means.

Stage (3) - Synthesis (3)(a) Recall item (1)(a). (3)(b) Connect it to knowledge acquired in stage (2). (3)(c) Learn what "rebooking trades" means, all by yourself!

Notes Note 1: I.e., "booking" the trade again. Note 2: the following PDF is 67-page academic study of the "Trade-Capture Process." You will find the answer to (2)(c) here. http://www.wpi.edu/Pubs/E-project/Available/E-project-011409-115202/unr…
