There is a new Option History window available for Advanced Charting users that displays all the trades occurring in all calls/puts at all strikes for a given option contract month.
Click the New menu on the main window and select 'Option History', then select the contract that you want. Then when the window displays select the month that you want.
RFQ's now appear in the contract history
They appear as black lines, with Type of 'RFQ' with no price or volume.
They can be turned off in the window properties.
Volume Highlighting
Set a trade volume that will highlight the background for trades that exceed that volume.
'All+Related' tab (Options Pro users only) can show trades from multiple related contracts on the same window
Open from the future, e.g. Corn Future (ZC) and it will show the Corn futures trades plus all the related Corn options including weeklies and short dated.
Open from the main option e.g. Corn Option (OZC) and it will show the Corn option trades plus all related Corn options including weeklies and short dated.
Tab appears in a drop down list underneath the 'All' tab.
If you have the Options Pro package then you can now select to see Net Edge and other Theoretical values on the Contract History window as trades occur. Select the columns you want to see from the Contract History window properties.
Net Edge shows only if there is an edge to your theoretical price. You can set filters to show or highlight Net Edge values on the Contract History properties window.
The contract history window will now pull trade data for the entire trading session, up to 1 million lines of trades. This allows you to see what traded overnight, whether you were logged in or not.
The contract history window now offers new columns for Options Pro users. These include a "volatility initiator" column, a "trade volatility difference" column, and multiple vega measurement columns. These new columns can show whether the trade aggressor bought or sold volatility in each trade, as well as whether the volatility level of the trade is over or under your own volatility level and by how much. This can be helpful in determining how different trades are moving volatility in a market in real time. These columns can be added from the properties menu of the contract history window, and are found under the "theoretical" section in the columns tab.
