Show Fill Ticket

When this option checked you would see a fill ticket pop up when your order is filled. If you do not wish to see this fill ticket just left click on that option to remove the check mark and the fill ticket will no longer pop up.

 

Show Multiple Accounts

In the event that you have more that one online account with BEST Direct, this option will give you the availability to view both accounts without closing the program.  The second account will be in the drop down menu to the left of the account # that you logged in as.

 

Show Account Status

If you look at the Account Status screen you will see that we have provided you with your Current Account Status. The current account status function shows your cash account balance (Cash), liquidating value (L.V.), margin requirement (M/R), margin excess (M/E), and open, close, and net profit or loss. You can update this function by going into the Refresh menu, and then left clicking on the Recalculate Commodity option.

 

 

If you deselect the Show Account Status option, your screen will instead show the trade that is currently populating your trade ticket:

 

 

Add Account

This option lets you add additional accounts, if you have more than one account with PFG.


Edit Commodity List

This option lets you adjust the commodities available in your drop down menu. Once you have selected the commodities you wish to view, choose save and exit. Using this function can make it much more manageable to select contracts in the market selection window, particularly if you don’t trade many markets.
