Trading With J-Trader
Joining or Diming Automatically
In a Patsystems Reflector screen, you can automatically join or dime a bid/offer continuously, at
predefined time intervals, until the volume you specify has been filled:
1 Open a Patsystems Reflector screen.
2 Expand the left panel, so that the PIG panel is displayed. The fields to use are the ones in the
Automatic part of the screen:
Net Position is the same as Net in the main part of the Patsystems Reflector screen: it shows the
net position of the selected trader account (Account field) for the specified contract, taking into
account all orders submitted by any method of trade entry.
3 Fill in the fields, as follows:
Field, etc.
Time Out
—Bid Below
Market—
—Offer Above
Market—
Enter or select
Interval (1-60 seconds) between the bid/offer being filled and the next order being
submitted.
The parameters of the bid to be submitted:
Step: Number of ticks below the bid, or 0 for joining at the current bid price.
Lots: Volume of the clips in which the orders are to be submitted. If this field is set
to zero, no orders will be submitted, even if the on/off button is showing as On.
Max: Total volume of bids to be filled.
Same principle as the —Bid Below Market— fields above, except that Step is the
number of ticks above the bid.
Note that you can submit bids and offers at the same time.
1 Click Off to start the automatic price injection. The button changes to On.
Total Orders Submitted shows the total number of orders currently submitted to the market by the
PIG. Furthermore, the numbers in parentheses in the —Bid Below Market— and —Offer Above
Market— frames shows the number of lots fills for bids and offers individually.
2 You can stop the automatic price injection, either with or without pulling any orders already
submitted:
Without pulling submitted orders: Set the Lots field to 0.
Click On. The button changes to Off, to indicate that the process has been stopped.
If Settings screen, Trading tab, Pull All Show Trade Confirm is ticked, you’ll get a
confirmation dialog asking you whether you want to pull the orders; otherwise, the orders are
pulled immediately. In the Status screen, pulled orders move from the ‘working’ part of the
screen to the ‘completed’ part.
