Quote Window Display (Back to Index)

Your Quote Window automatically displays all contracts you have open positions in. It also displays any additional contracts you have selected from the Market Selection area of your screen.

If you are using the PFG MDS streaming quotes for GLOBEX, E-CBOT, or single stock futures contracts, the Quote Window shows you depth of market. This depth of market feature shows the current bid and ask with the quantity.

To select PFG MDS, go to the Main drop-down menu, select “Options,” followed by “Real-Time Quotes,” and then select PFG MDS:

Once you have your data manager open it is possible to view real-time data through your trading ticket’s Quote Window.

If you don’t have real-time quotes selected (none), then you will see Flash Quote showing in the quote window:

Simply select the Commodity, Year, and Month from the Market Selection area of the screen, and click Flash Quote. The last price updated in our database will then appear in the Window to the right of the Flash Quote button. This is NOT a real time quote, but is based on exchange-established delays. You must hit the Flash Quote button for the quote to update. If you have real-time quotes selected in the “Main” drop down bar (under options), then the Flash Quote function doesn’t appear.

Right Click Settings

When your cursor is over the quote window you have a number of order entry options.
