2 By default, everything is selected. You can deselect items by clicking , and unticking the items
you don’t want. Notice how (un)ticking an item causes all its children to be (un)ticked as well,
although you can subsequently (un)tick those children independently of each other.
3 You can adjust the columns (page 27), namely change the selection of columns, reorder columns,
and auto-adjust their widths.

Submitting Bulk Orders
You can submit, in one batch, a large quantity of orders for any number of exchanges. You will
probably want to submit the orders in the pre-open period, but you can specify any time – even
different times per order within the batch.
To submit bulk orders, you use a .csv (comma-delimited) file. Typically you would import the data
into Excel, which saves you from manually entering each order, which can be time-consuming and
error-prone. If you are a broker, you could have a spreadsheet per customer, exported from your
customers’ databases.
The following two sections explain the format of the input file, and how to submit the orders from
J-Trader.
Format of the Input File
The format of .csv files that you are using for submitting bulk orders is as follows:
B,20,Stop#,97.750,0.000,,Liffe,EURIBOR,MAR05,BEAGLE,,Stop order,,0
