Smart Orders Preferences Key Benefit: Easily set up the individual Smart Order qualifications in the preferences window. Smart Orders have been added to the Trading Preferences window for the DOMTrader and the Order Ticket. There are five Smart Order types: DOM-Triggered Stops Iceberg Limits Brackets Trailing Order-Cancels-Order (OCO) This is the master symbol list for all symbols for the five Smart Orders. You can set the qualifications for each Smart Order by symbol. Here, the DOM quantity thresholds for the DOM- Triggered Stop are set for EP. The asterisk indicates the symbol is used for another Smart Order, but is not set up for DOM-Triggered Stops. Enable or disable order confirmation dialogs.

Iceberg Order Preferences Key Benefit: Set up Iceberg Limit orders by symbol using the preferences dialog. An Iceberg Limit order breaks up an order into increments and only displays the number of contracts set by the trader to be displayed on the exchange’s order book. Turn on Iceberg Limit orders. The amount of contracts displayed can be set as a specific quantity or a percentage of the total size of the order by symbol. Enable confirmation window to be displayed when you place an Iceberg Limit order.

Bracket Orders Key Benefit: Target and risk management orders are automatically placed. A Bracket Order is a limit order that, once filled, places a target order and a stop loss order on an order- cancels-order (OCO) basis. Bracket Orders must first be enabled in the Bracket/Smart Orders Preferences. Then, choose Bracket Order from the “link” icon pull down menu. To place a Bracket Order: 1. Place the limit order. 2. Set the target and stop loss orders by tick or dollar amount in the confirmation window that opens. 3. Choose from stop, trailing stop, and DOM-triggered stops. If the Limit order is filled, the target and stop loss orders are automatically placed as OCOs.

Bracket Orders Preferences Key Benefit: Target and risk management orders are automatically placed. Turn on Bracket orders for placing Bracket orders from the DOMTrader and the Order Ticket. Select the symbol and set the parameters. For the target price, select from: Limit Iceberg Trailing Limit For the Stop Loss order, select: Stop DOM-Triggered Stop Stop Limit Choose to enable the confirmation window to open when placing the Bracket order.

Trailing Orders and Preferences Trailing Limit and Trailing Stop orders track the market and adjust as the market moves. Select Trailing Limits and Trailing Stop Orders from the pull down menu. Enable Trailing Stops and Trailing Limits from the Preferences Dialog. For Trailing Limits, the market can be defined as: Current bid on buys and current offer on sells. Current offer on buys and current bid on sells. Last trade. Key Benefit: Your limit or stop order is managed by the CQG Gateway and automatically moves to a new level faster than you could manually adjust the order.

OCO Preferences Order-Cancels-Orders allow you to chain orders together. If one order is filled, then the other chained orders are cancelled. Enable OCO orders for the DOMTrader and the Order Ticket. Key Benefit: Trade with greater efficiency by using OCO orders to manage open orders.

Quote SpreadSheet Histograms Key Benefit: Quickly determine the contracts that are trading strong or weak compared to the other contracts within a group.

Time-Based TradeFlow Bars Key Benefit: Stay more informed as to other traders’ actions using TradeFlow based on time bars. Time-based TradeFlow bars use the same TradeFlow concept of monitoring executed volume at the bid versus the ask price for color-coding and width of the bar. The green portion of the bar represents the percentage of volume traded at the ask price (buying). The red portion represents the percentage of volume traded at the bid price (selling). The wider and brighter the colors, the higher the volume of trades.

Improved Add Study Dialog Key Benefit: Improved “search studies” features make adding studies to charts easier. Right -click on the chart to add studies. Now, as you type, the list will display highlighted letters of the studies matching the text.
