The Autospreader is a three-pane window designed to facilitate
the automatic trading of calendar and inter-product spreads. You define the two
legs of the spread, the relationships, and parameters between them. The Autospreader
displays the implied market for the spread based on the outright legs. You can enter
orders in the spread pane and the Autospreader works the legs to achieve the spread
setting parameters. The Autospreader is an add-on tool only available with X_TRADERâ
Pro. Although it is installed during the regular X_TRADER installation process,
it requires a separate X_TRADER® Pro™ license to function.
New display features of Autospreader include:
New! Calculate Implieds Instead of using Exchange Implieds.
Because some exchanges only display implied pricing data when the implied prices
and quantities are at the best price in the market, you may not see some implied
values. This new feature calculates and displays implied pricing in Market Depth
as well as the inside market. To enable this feature, open the Properties Trading
tab and click the Calculate Implieds Instead of using Exchange Implieds option.
Implieds From Implieds: After you enable Calculate Implieds instead of using Exchange
Implieds, you can enable the Implieds From Implieds option. X_TRADER also calculates
and displays implieds from implieds values (sometimes called 2nd generation implieds).
New! Include Implieds for spreads in Market Columns and in Depth. Displays (new)
implied outright, (new) implied spread, and (new) implieds from implieds quantities
and prices in market data columns.
To enable this feature, go to the Properties Trading tab. Click the Include Implieds
in Market columns and in Depth option. For more information about X_TRADER®’s Implied
pricing capabilities, go to the Market window section of the Help and review Implied
Prices and Quantities.
NOTE: The three panes of the Autospreader window are based on the functionality
of the MD Trader™ window within X_TRADER. Therefore, all the functionality of the
MD Trader window is also available for each Autospreader pane. Refer to the MD Trader
window sections of the Help for detailed descriptions of MD Trader enhancements,
properties, and usage.
