Trading Features & Settings

Enable Trading

To enable trading directly from a chart:

• Click the Dollar icon at the top-left corner of the chart, or

• Right-click anywhere on the chart and select Trading enabled.

Trading Panel

Cross Trading Mini / Micro

At the top of the Trading Panel, you can choose the instrument you want to trade.
DeepChart allows you to view Mini futures data while trading Micro contracts, making it unnecessary to open multiple charts.

Remember: to perform accurate volumetric analysis, always monitor the main futures contract.

The panel also displays:

• Qty Open: Number of contracts or shares currently open.

• Open P/L: Profit/Loss of the active position.

• Daily P/L: Total P/L for the selected instrument.

When one executes, the other is automatically cancelled.

(See detailed explanation in the OCO Strategy section.)
