A trading period in TakeSheet represents a single day of venue operations — the defined window of time that one reconciliation covers. Every trading period has its own dedicated sheet in TakeSheet, giving your team a clean, structured workspace for that day's data entry and reconciliation.
How Trading Periods Are Displayed
When you log in to TakeSheet, the current week is displayed with each calendar day shown individually. Each day has its own sheet — think of it as a fresh reconciliation workspace for that trading period. Your team works through the day's data entry and reconciliation within that sheet, and once complete, it moves through the approval workflow before being locked.
How Trading Periods Are Configured
Trading periods in TakeSheet are mapped to the calendar day for ease of reconciliation. By default, a trading period runs from 4:00 AM to 4:00 AM the following day — meaning any activity after midnight but before 4:00 AM is counted as part of the current day's trading period rather than the next.
This configuration is set up by the TakeSheet onboarding team during initial platform setup and is tailored to your venue's specific operating hours. If you have questions about how your trading period is configured, contact the TakeSheet support team.
A New Sheet Every Day
Each morning, a new trading period sheet is automatically created in TakeSheet ready for the day ahead. Your team doesn't need to do anything to open a new period — it's there and waiting when the shift starts.
