Right-click a quote cell and then click Place an Order. An order entry application will open according to your Symbol System Preferences.
You may also double-click a cell to open a trading application based on your Misc. System Settings.
Synthetic Spreads
You can enter a spread equation in a quote window to obtain bid/ask quote data for that spread. Only bid/ask quotes are displayed. Trades and traded volumes are not. Only the Enhanced Quote SpreadSheet does not support synthetic spreads.
Bid/ask quotes are displayed when the Value Preference in Quote Preferences is set to Quote.
The best ask is calculated as the difference between best asks of components from the buy perspective and the best bids of components from the sell perspective. The best bid is calculated as a difference between best bids of components from the buy perspective and best asks of components from the sell perspective.
For example, ENQ-EP:
ENQ

1639.25 1339.50
300.50
1639.00
1339.25

1339.00 A 300.00 A
1638.50 B 1338.75 B

1338.50 299.50 B

In addition to entering symbols for the spread, users can set multipliers that are used as order ratios for trading. Spread entries can also include a calculation mode, tick size, and trading ratio.
