Scroll bars in Market Depth window
submitted by alice_in_lexington 7 months, 23 days ago

—  It would be nice if there was a vertical scroll bar in the prices window of Market Depth.  This way you could scroll back in time to see T&S prices that occurred earlier than the 10 or so prices that show in the window.  In the Preferences for Market Depth, there is a check box for Vertical Scroll Bar.  But I have it turned on and there is no vertical scroll bar.

The montage uses a ticker not a T&S. Should you wish to move back I propose you use the T&S window.

Why not combine the T&S window with the Market Depth window? I like Market Depth so I can see bid/ask and place orders. It shows the last 10 or so trades, but there is no scroll bar so you cannot go back further. With the T&S window you can see all the recent prices and scroll through them. Seems these 2 windows could be combined.

if not combined, would it be too difficult to simply add an optional scroll bar to what you call the "montage" and let people scroll back through ticks?

I submitted a follow-on suggestion for a seperate Time and Sales window. The current time and sales window moves so fast with my currencies that I have given up trying to use it.

Wow! I do see there is a big difference between what is shown in the T&S window and the Market Depth. I thought the Market Depth showed all the trades that were happening real time for equities. But for every one trade recorded in Market Depth, I see at least 10 trades recorded in the T&S window. What is the difference?

There is a ton of fast moving information there. But, the problem I ran into is dealing with it real time. If I am making quick trades there just isn't time to look deeper into the T&S window. For this reason I have to rely on my moving averages with respect to the price and the Market Depth window. When I place a Limited order I watch happens to the spread, then I can see if the price is moving into or away from my desired order. I have found that more information isn't always better.
