Parameter

Description

Trigger leaning leg

Used with ratio spreads. Clear this check box to prevent proportional execution. You would choose to prevent proportional execution in situations where you do not want the first lot of the secondary leg placed until all lots are filled on the primary leg. For example, consider a 5:3 strategy. Disabling proportional execution allows the system to fill all five lots before the three lots are triggered.

Fill size trigger

Indicates how many contracts (lots or percent) should be filled before the second leg order is placed. For example, you’re working 10 lots of TYA and leaning on 1 million of BTC. If this setting is 50%, then the BTC leg order should be placed when 5 lots of TYA have been filled. Choose between lots and percentage.

Default = 100%
