Dynamic Trade Summary
The Trader Deals Panel provides optional Dynamic Trade Summary (DTS) functionality that enables users to track dealing positions in one or more currency pairs while continuously updating as the user continues to trade.
Initiate the DTS function using either the <dynamic summary> key on EBS Keypad, or by clicking on DTS button in the top right corner of the Trader Deals card. Clicking either a second time will stop the active DTS. Once enabled, every subsequent trade is included in the active DTS.
Note: The DTS tab tracks as many as five currency pair positions.
Add and remove individual deals using the checkboxes, or highlight a specific deal and select the shift + - keys on the EBS Keypad.
After stopping an active DTS, users can initiate another active DTS, which hides a previously undismissed DTS behind the active one.
To expand the stack displaying active and all undismissed DTS, click the DTS tab or select the list key on the EBS Keypad while focusing on the Trader Deals Card. Navigate the DTS expanded stack using the Keypad arrows.
Note: As many as five DTS may display as a part of a stack.
Use the EBS Keypad to navigate a DTS expanded stack.
- <list> - Closes the stack
- <enter> - Closes the stack placing highlighted DTS at the top
- <quit> - Dismisses highlighted historical DTS or stops highlighted active DTS
With the DTS stack expanded, use the EBS Keypad to navigate to various options for highlighted active or historical DTS using the <tab> keys. All options can also be accessed using a mouse.
Add or remove Deals in the historical DTS using the checkbox at the end of each row, or highlight a Deal and select <shift> + <-> on the EBS Keypad.
Re-activate historical DTS by clicking the circle icon , or navigate using the EBS Keypad.
When tracking multiple historical DTS, tag the DTS with a label and color to differentiate the different historical DTS.
