Enhancements in this version:
New chart study summary options and searchable studies¶
The chart study summary (1) now has added configuration settings. To make changes to the settings, click the chart properties (2), then click the tab with the product name (3) and find the Summaries section (4).
Options Pro now offers series linking
Options Pro users can now link one series to another in Model Management. This is helpful for products that are fungible or closely related that may have different electronic trading hours or thinner markets in one product, i.e. e-mini S&P options and big S&P options. To link one series to another, open Model Management for the "child" series. Under the Series tab (1) find the Link To Parent section (2) and click the "Select Series" box in the "Link" field. This will provide a list of related series that can be linked. Select the desired series and click OK. The Link field will now show the name of the Parent Series, indicating that the link succeeded. To save it, click Apply or OK in Model Management. To remove the link, simply click the series name in the Link field, select "no link," and click OK. Note that any changes made to the parent series will be made in real time to any and all child series.
TradeSniper now offers division across products
TradeSniper can now create ratio spreads that divide one product by another. This can be useful for creating synthetic currency pairs or for relating any two products in terms of their price ratio. To use division, open the Spread tab (1) of the spread editor and choose Ratio (2) as the Quotation Method.
New settings for TradeSniper execution
TradeSniper now offers two new features for execution, both of which are found in the Legs tab (1) of the spread editor.
Wait For Full Volume (2) tells TradeSniper to wait for the full desired volume in that leg to be present in the market before submitting orders. In the screenshot below, the Trade Ratio (3) for each leg is five, meaning this spread will buy/sell five contracts of each leg per one strategy order. With Wait For Full Volume checked for both legs, TradeSniper will wait to submit orders until five contracts are present at the proper bid and offer levels in each leg before submitting the orders. By not trying to pick off smaller orders as they are available this can help conceal your execution plan from the market until it can be executed in full.
Expired Order Iterations (4) tells TradeSniper to attempt any missed orders again a minimum of three times before considering the strategy to be failed. This improves the chances of getting filled at the desired price without the need for payup orders. As a result, payup orders have been removed from the spread configuration.
