The Quote Board displays quotes for multiple contracts horizontally. The most common columns are visible by default. Each market will be listed under its corresponding exchange and contract. The market will have a month, market mode, net change, and quotes. You can change the month displayed by clicking the market month and selecting a month from the dropdown. Only the current quote row will be affected. Market mode is an indication of the current market status. A green “Open” status means the contract is ready for trading, if the market is closed or unavailable then the status will be red; orange indicates a pre-open or pre-close state. The net change for the trading day is displayed in red if the market has moved down and blue if the market has moved up. Quotes are displayed with best bid price and volume in blue, best offer price and volume in red, and last traded price and volume in green. Many additional Columns are available in Quote Board Properties.
The Quote Board also allows you to submit orders by clicking the bid and offer columns. Clicking a bid or offer price will open an Order Ticket ready to join the best bid or offer. Clicking a bid or offer volume will open an Order Ticket ready to hit the best bid or offer.
