Quotes Monitor
Quotes Monitor
"Quotes Monitor" shows the quotes and their evolution in time. You can have one or more tables with quotes. Each table can contain many rows (at least one row). Every row contains data for a specified contract (ES, S, ... or other). Every row is listening for it's contract updates. When an update comes the cell will be highlighted. For example in the picture below the last for ESZ7 has changed and the cell is highlighted (colored in grey).
 |
| There is drag-and-drop at column level. You can change the order of columns in a table, simple by drag-and-drop. Drag-and-drop at row level allows you to change the order of the rows in a table. |  |
|
There are three types of rows:
- empty rows: An empty can change into a quote row by writing the name of the contract in the contract cell. You can also use empty rows for some delimitations in the table - titled rows: On a title row you can write for example the name of exchange for a group of rows - quote rows: These are rows that contains information about a quote and will listen for quote's updates |
|
| Post a trade indicator (P) for pre/post session prices for equity quotes. |
 |
| If applicable (in case of delayed data) the delay amount is displayed as a Dxx label next to the contract name, where xx represents minutes of delay. Furthermore, a D suffix is appended to the display of the last price, while the current trading session is open. |
 |
| Post a previous settlement indicator (P) for the closing price of the last session for futures quotes. Not to be confused with the P from equity quotes. |
 |
| Synthetic spreads are an enumerations of contract (SM, BO, S) for which you apply the formula specified by default: "2.2*SM + 11*BO - S". The coefficients are by default 11, 9, -10. |
 |
| This calculates the interest rate for the future contracts by a default formula. You write the contracts name with ~ in front. |
 |
You can enter any custom text you want in any cell (except the Contract column), as long as the row isn't already occupied by a contract. You can leave comments and descriptions this way. |
|
| You can create various formulas in any cell (except the Contract column), as long as that row is not already occupied by a contract. All formulas must start with the = symbol. You can specify contracts to be used in these functions and formulas by typing the full contract, such as ESZ10 or type the symbol followed by * to represent the entire calendar strip for that contract, such as ES*. You can extract the information of a certain column of the contract by typing @ followed by the symbol of the column.
Example: esz10@vol
You can use any arithmetic formula (+,-,*,/) and well as the int and sum functions. This int function can be used to display the integer value of a certain column or formula. To use this function, type int and put the value you want to convert to integer in brackets. The sum function is similar to the one in Excel. Type sum and then put the elements you want to sum up in brackets. Here are some examples: =esu10@bd + esz10@bd =esu10@ak - 2*esz10@ak =int(esz10@vol) =sum(esu10@vol, esz10@vol) or =sum@vol(esu10, esz10) =sum(esu10@vol, esz10@vol) <=> esu10@vol + esz10@vol =sum(es*@vol) or =sum@vol(es*)– sum the volumes for the entire calendar strip |
