r. Trading on Charts with Grid Mode

Grid mode is purpose-built for active stock and futures traders on the US Options & Futures trading platform. With Grid Mode, you can view multiple charts and quickly enter and adjust orders through interaction with the displayed charts.

Where is Grid Mode Located?

Navigate to the Trade Tab and select SHARES under 'Asset Type' drop down and GRID under 'Trade Mode' drop down.

What can I trade with Grid Mode?

Currently, with Grid mode, you can trade the following products:

• Stocks
• Outright CME Futures

How do I customize my Grid view?

Choose the number of Charts to Display

You can customize the number of charts that display in Grid mode by adjusting the number of columns and rows displayed. You can customize the Grid view by clicking the UP or DOWN arrows in the top right corner of the tab window.

How to Disable Trading Controls to Only View Charts

By default, the Grid mode will display an order ticket beneath the chart. However, you can hide the order ticket and only view charts by unchecking the Show Trading Controls box.

When unchecked, the order ticket beneath the chart does not display so you can view multiple charts without an order ticket displayed beneath the chart.

How Do I Customize My Chart View?

Within each Grid chart, you can choose between different time aggregations, time intervals, chart drawings, indicators, and more.

Additionally, you can adjust your y-axis by clicking and dragging up or down (red box) to expand or compress the y-axis display.

Manual Order Entry Grid Mode

Enter an Order Manually, Based on Order Settings

Grid mode also enables you to quickly enter orders manually based on your order settings. You can set different order settings within each Grid box before entering an order. You can set the order type, price offset and set the order as a buy or a sell order.

Available Order Types (orange box)

• Limit
• Market
• Stop-Limit
• Stop Market

Price Offset (yellow box)

Price offset amounts will vary based on the product you are trading. Offsets are designed to help you quickly enter orders at different price increments away from the current market price so that you don't have to calculate it manually. Price offsets work differently for a buy or sell order. When setting a price offset for an order to BUY, the selected offset will display a price subtracted from the ASK price. On the other hand, when setting a price offset for an order to SELL, the selected offset will display a price added to the current BID price. Both the bid and the ask price conveniently display above the order settings.

Buy/Sell (green box)

To change between a buy or sell order click order action (green arrow) to change. The order action (BTO, STO, BTC, STC) will adjust accordingly.

How to Cancel a working order on Grid Mode

To cancel a working order using Grid mode, or any chart that's displaying your working order, start by locating the working order. Once located, click the X and the order will cancel and be removed from the chart.

How to set a Time-in-Force (TIF) in Grid Mode

You can set a specific Time-In-Force (TIF) for all orders routed through Grid mode. Select your default TIF (Day, GTC, or GTD) on the top right-hand corner of the Grid Mode window, located immediately to the left of the Column and Row display selection.
