Definition: Trade capture refers to the process of immediately recording (or capturing) all the details of an executed trade (price, quantity, asset, time, counterparty, etc.) into the official front office trading system. Trade capture creates the book of record that feeds risk management, settlement, and accounting systems.
Example: After a buy/sell order is matched and agreed upon, the firm enters the critical details of the trade (instrument, quantity, price, date, time, counterparty) into a trade blotter.
