Linking Windows in T4 Trading Application

You can link windows together in the T4 Trading Application, allowing changes in one window to reflect in others linked to it. Follow these steps:

1. Open the window you want to link (Contract Window, Quote Board, or Chart).

2. Locate the Properties button in the window. It is usually found in the toolbar.

6. Optionally, set a color by clicking on the color bar in the value area to easily differentiate linked windows.

7. You can also set a shape that will appear just to the right of the properties as another way to differentiate linked windows.

8. In the Acct Info Direction, you can tie the Quote Board alternate account to the Trading Ladders alternate account. Choose “Send Only,” “Send and Receive,” or “Receive.”

9. In the Market Info Direction, you can tie the Markets between the Quote Board, Trading Ladder, and Chart. Choose “Send Only,” “Send and Receive,” or “Receive.”

In the above example, “Send and Receive” is selected for all three windows. Now, any change made in one window will be reflected in all linked windows.
