The trading programs list is a centralized place to store all of your trading programs, making it easy to organize, control and monitor your rebate agreements.
Collaborators who have been given access to trading programs also have access to this list, filtered down to only their trading programs. This allows you to have more aligned discussions between you and your trading partners by referring to a streamlined interface. You can also send links directly to your collaborators about the exact agreement you want to discuss (or vice versa), as the trading program URLs are the same for both parties.

Note: If you use separate target and earnings selections and ratio target selections, these will also be included.
