+====== Configure Filter ======
+{{:desktop:fast_-_gp_-_config_filter_1_.png|}}
+      * **Filter Type** Left click in the value area to configure the type of options and/or strategies to see when this view is selected.
+        __**Option Greeks:**__
+         *  delta, vega, gamma, theta, OEs etc... are filtered using absolute value. **Example:** You only want to see options and strategies with a delta between -.10 and +.10. You would select Delta as the filter type, click on the FilterEditor, then select the Between operator, and configure the UpperBound to +.10. Notice, the **LowerBound** is set to 0, not -.10
+__**Last Trade Time:**__
+  * Configured using number of seconds.
+  * **Example:** You only want to see options and strategies that have traded in the last 10 minutes. You would select Last Trade Time as the filter type, click on the FilterEditor, then select the LessThan operator, and configure the **Filter Value** to 600 (10 minutes = 600 seconds).
+__**Strategy Templates:**__
+  * Select which type of option strategies you want to see.
+  * **Example:** You only want to see Straddles and Strangles. You would select T4 Template as the filter type, click on the FilterEditor and then the Filter Value, check off only the Straddle and Stranlge list items.
+  * **Filter Editor** Left click in the value area to bring up the filter editor. configure the specific values/range to see for the selected Filter Type.

+  * **Operator** Left click in the value area to configure. The operator can be set to
+         *  Between
+         *  Excluding
+         *   Equal to
+         *   Not equal to
+         *   Greater than
+         *   Less than
+         *   Greater than or equal to
+         *   Less than or equal to
+  * **Filter Value** Left click in the value area to configure the filter value. Note Time is measured in seconds. The minimum value is 0

+  *     **Direction** Left click in the value area to choose the sort direction. You can choose between
+        *None
+        *Ascending
+        *Descending
+      * **Absolute** Value Enable to sort using absolute value.
+ __   **Explanation of Absolute Value**__
+It would just be that it doesn't matter if a spread is getting long or short vega/gamma/delta/theta, just what the magnitude of each Greek is. For example, one spread could show +$30 in theta while another shows -$30 in theta. The difference there is you collect 30 bucks each day with the positive value and you pay 30 bucks each day with the negative value. If you sort by absolute value then these two spreads would be side by side. If you sort normally, you'd have a lot of spreads between these two, specifically anything where you collect up to $29 down to paying $29.
+So if you have the following theta values for 3 spreads:
+  * +$28
+  * -$31
+  * +$17
+  * and you sort descending without absolute value you'd see:
+  * +$28
+  * +$17
+  * -$3 Because 28 is greater than 17 is greater than negative 31. But if you sort descending WITH absolute value you'd see: - $31
+  * +$28
+  * +$17
+  * Because 31 is greater than 28 is greater than 17. You just ignore the signs.
