Trading Strategies
Using the Strategies tab of a trading window, you can trade strategies (for both options and futures).
The screen is similar to the Hot Quotes screen, from where you can also trade strategies. The
difference is that the Strategies screen shows only strategies, and is dynamically updated with any new
strategies that are created in the market.
If you have the Strategy Calculator (page 64), you can create exchange-supported strategies.
You can view and trade option and future strategies. Follow these steps:
1 In any trading window, select the Strategies tab.
2 Click + Add. and select the strategies you want to monitor. The hierarchical list (exchanges >
instruments > contracts) looks and works the same as in the Hot Quotes Screen (page 23).
3 Click to display the selection tree in the left-hand pane:
Tick the strategies you want to monitor. Unticking an item will stop the Strategies screen from
scanning for its details, and will remove it from the grid display. Notice how (un)ticking an item
causes all its children to be (un)ticked as well, although you can (un)tick children separately.
4 The Strategies screen displays expired strategies as greyed out. To remove expired strategies from
the strategies screen, click Purge (bottom-left corner).
5 If you want implied prices, tick Implied Prices.
Note: If an implied price is worse than the best bid or offer, the real price will be displayed instead.
6 If necessary, adjust the columns (page 27): i.e. change the selection of columns, reorder columns,
and auto-adjust their widths. For an explanation of the columns you can choose from, see
Strategies Screen Columns (page 52).
