Matrix screen


For spread trading, J-Trader provides a user-friendly matrix screen that enables you to trade outright and calendar spread markets using a single or double click.

J-Trader Application


J-Trader makes it simple to track all of your trading activity, net positions and open and cumulative profit and loss in real time. The sample screen below shows how the J-Trader position window allows you to track a wide variety of information: J-Trader Application


J-Trader Order Entry Window


An alternative to entering trades via the DOME screen is to use the "trade ticket" window, which permits you to describe the specific details of your trade before it's entered. This trade ticket is available through Jtrader's grid-based quote screen (not shown). With a click of a button, a screen similar to the one below is ready to take your order.

J-Trader Order Dome


Many traders rely on the DOME window as their primary interface to track and trade the markets with JTrader. The DOME Window makes it easy to follow the volume of different priced bids and offers currently available, as well as track your resting bids and offers. The DOME window also provides basic trade management tools to place, adjust and cancel orders quickly and efficiently. J-Trader Order Dome


J-Trader Order Status Window


The position screen shows your overall position held by commodity, including a view of accrued profit or loss. By initially setting up the appropriate commission schedule charged to your account, you can precisely track your trading results through this position tracking area. Further detail on any trade open or closed can be obtained by clicking on any of the contracts displayed. J-Trader Order Status Window


MEL (Multi-Exchange Legger)


MEL allows you to create, price and trade any user-defined strategy across exchanges and products.

Traders can place orders where each component is automatically executed within ratio and weighting requirements. J-Trader MEL
