Labels and Values Chart Preferences

These preferences are used to change the display of the Daily Value Box, study titles, the Cursor Value Box, and the Order Book.

 

To access these settings, click Setup, then Chart Preferences, and then click the Labels and Values tab.

Daily Value Box

To display the Daily Value Box, click the Display check box in the Daily Value Box section of preferences.

The Daily Value Box in the upper-left corner of the chart displays the open, high, low, last trade, close, and net change from the prior close. Optionally, you can display a thermometer (Thermo check box).

Using the Studies Titles parameter, you can choose to display the study name or parameters on the Daily Value Box.

Value Preference allows you to control how the last and net change values are displayed on the chart.

If Use default is selected, then the system uses your preferences, including a BATS filter. If preferences aren’t set, then it uses the CQG default. If the BATS filter is using bids or asks, then bid and ask values are used in the bars. The last and net change values are based on the last quote (trade, bid, or ask) received. Otherwise, they are based on the last trade or settlement.

If the Quote button is selected, then the last and net change values are based on the last quote (trade, bid, or ask) received.

If the Trade button is selected, then last and net change values are based on the last trade or settlement received.
