The Market History window lists trades as they occur for the current market. Each trade will have a price, volume, and time. The color of the text indicates whether it was a bid or offer that completed the trade (second half of the trade).

Switch between market months by using the market tab at the top of the Market History window.

To open a new Market History window, Click the Market History option from the Main window’s New Items Menu.

Image The market tabs are used to switch between a contract’s available markets. Simply click the tab for the market you desire to see. If you want to see multiple markets for the same contract at the same time create a new Market History window and set the desired market. Image The Spread dropdown allows you to choose whether or not strategies are visible in the Market Tab Strip. If a contract has no spreads available then the ‘SP’ button will not be displayed. The SP dropdown will display all available strategy options for that market. If you do not want to see all the available markets choose the first 2 months only option.
