Commodity List (Back to Index)

When you select a commodity from the Market Selection window, you will see that BEST Direct is set up so that you will view all available exchanges and contracts in the commodity list. You can edit the commodity list, however, to just show the commodities that you are interested in.

To edit the commodity list, go to the “Main” dropdown menu, and select “Options,” followed by “Edit Commodity List.”

You can then select those products you want showing in your commodity list by individual contract or by exchange. If you want to view just the E-Mini S&P 500 and E-Mini Nasdaq, for example, you can individually select those two products so that they show up in your commodity list.

To have just these two products shown on your commodity list, you still have to de-select each exchange in the exchange list:

Even though you’ve de-selected GLOBEX in this case, the E-Mini S&P 500 and E-Mini Nasdaq will still show up on your commodity list since they were selected individually.

Using the Edit Commodity List function can make the commodities list in the market selection window much more manageable, particularly if you don’t trade many markets. You can change your commodity list as frequently as you want.
