-After a custom strategy has been created, it can be edited by selecting it and clicking the Edit button (1). To trade or see quotes for a strategy, select it from the Custom Strategies window then click the Trade/Quotes button (2). To open other windows for the selected strategy, click Chart (3), Market Profile (4), or Market History (5). The Spread Matrix (6) button will provide the option to open a spread matrix window for any of the legs of the selected strategy. The Quote Snapshot (7) will provide detailed information that breaks down the spread quotes into the constituent leg quotes and volumes for each depth level.

 ====== T4 Custom Strategies Calculations ======
-Inputs	Description
-Ticks	This is the price of the product as published by the exchange. Note that this value may not match the display price.
-TickValue	This is the cash value of a minimum tick for the product multiplied by the leg multiplier chosen for that leg, i.e. a leg multiplier of 3 with a $10 minimum tick creates a $30 TickValue.
-Numerator	The minimum tick increment in the same terms as the "Ticks" of the product, i.e. a display price of 1170.3 may have a minimum tick of 0.1, but if the Ticks are published by the exchange as 11703, the Numerator will be 1, not 0.1
-Denominator	The value sent from the exchange that divides into Ticks to create a decimal value.
-PriceCode	If applicable, this applies a special conversion to a decimal value to create a more legible display price, i.e. a 10yr Note decimal price of 127.296875 becomes 127095 after applying the appropriate PriceCode.
-DisplayFormat	The decimal precision applied to a display price, i.e. a price of 1258.75 with a DisplayFormat of 0.0 will truncate the last digit, leaving 1258.7 as the display price

-Cash Calculation¶
+|**Ticks**	|This is the price of the product as published by the exchange. Note that this value may not match the display price.|
-Step 1 - Multiply each leg price by its TickValue and Denominator, then divide by its Numerator.
+|**TickValue** |This is the cash value of a minimum tick for the product multiplied by the leg multiplier chosen for that leg, i.e. a leg multiplier of 3 with a $10 minimum tick creates a $30 TickValue.|
-Step 2 - Add all leg values calculated in Step 1, where buy-side legs are positive and sell-side legs are negative.
+|**Numerator** |The minimum tick increment in the same terms as the "Ticks" of the product, i.e. a display price of 1170.3 may have a minimum tick of 0.1, but if the Ticks are published by the exchange as 11703, the Numerator will be 1, not 0.1 |
-Step 3 - Multiply the value derived in Step 2 by the first leg's Numerator, then divide by the first leg's TickValue and Denominator.
+|**Denominator** |The value sent from the exchange that divides into Ticks to create a decimal value. |
+|**PriceCode** |If applicable, this applies a special conversion to a decimal value to create a more legible display price, i.e. a 10yr Note decimal price of 127.296875 becomes 127095 after applying the appropriate PriceCode.|
