Interactive Broker BookTrader
This is the first time I am trying out the Interactive Broker BookTrader for trading futures contract. And I found that the Buy/Sell entry order (price level) is not clearly shown on the BookTrader Price Ladder column. Also the P&L column is in dollar value (stock based) For Futures contract, it will be much better to track P&L in ticks.
An illustration that was prepared by me was sent today to Interactive Brokers thru message center requesting 3 features for review. Hopefully, they seriously look into it and have this requested features make available on the BookTrader for traders who need these features.
For those with IB account, if you like what you see, you can also support for these features by sending a request to IB as well. Save the image and sent it by login to your Account Management, click support and choose Message Center and you can attach image to make this request.
More IB account users support this, the high chance of getting the requested features.
Here is the link to see the illustration.
