On this page

Context menu

Right-click in the widget to open the context menu and select the following actions:

  • Open: Open the selected contract in an MD Trader, Order Ticket, Time and Sales, or Charts widget.
  • Grouping: Groups positions based on view mode. In aggregate view mode, sets whether to display positions grouped by “Risk Group”, Account,” “Exchange,” “Product,” or “Contract”. To display the positions with no grouping hierarchy by selecting “None”. You can also set whether to automatically display the grouped columns in front of the grid by checking the Auto-arrange group columns checkbox.

    In matrix view mode, the following options are available:

    • Add to Group: Adds selected products to a product grouping.
    • Remove from Group: Removes selected products from a product grouping.
    • Rename Group: Renames a product grouping.
    • Delete Group: Deletes a product grouping.
  • View Mode — Sets how positions are displayed in the widget. Select one of the following:
    • Aggregate: Shows accounts and contracts that have positions in TT. Use the “Grouping” setting to filter and diplay how positions are displayed. This is the default setting for viewing positions.
    • Matrix: Shows positions based on user-defined custom product groups.
  • Create Manual Fill: Opens the Position Manager widget to create manual fills.
  • Export rows: Exports data to a comma-separated values (CSV) file for all rows or selected rows in the Positions widget. Use Shift-click to select multiple rows. You can export either a grouped or flat view of positions in the widget.

P/L Configuration

Setting Description
P/L Calculation

Sets the price type used for calculating your P/L per contract. Select one of the following P/L price types:

  • LTP Waterfall — The price type is determined by the following “waterfall” logic:

    1. Last Traded Price — If the LTP, Bid, and Ask prices are available, then TT checks if the LTP is within the Bid/Ask range, meaning LTP >= Bid and LTP <= Ask. If the LTP is within this range, then LTP is used as the P/L price.
    2. Midpoint — If the LTP is not with the Bid/Ask range, TT uses the midpoint price to calculate P/L. The Bid and Ask prices must be available to calculate the midpoint. If they exist, then the midpoint (i.e., (Bid + Ask)/2) is used as the P/L price.
    3. Bid/Ask — If only one side is available, i.e., there is only a Bid or only an Ask, and there is also a settlement price, then either the Bid or Ask is used as the P/L price if it’s better than the Settle: If no Ask, but Bid > Settle, then Bid is used as the P/L price; if no Bid, but Ask < Settle, then Ask is used as the P/L price.
    4. Settle — If neither the Bid or Ask are available, then the settlement price is used as the P/L price.
    5. Close — If Settle is not available, then the Close price of the current session is used to as the P/L price.
  • Last — The Last Traded Price
  • Bid/Ask — The Bid price for long positions or Ask price for short positions
  • Midpoint — Midpoint of the Bid/Ask, i.e., (Bid + Ask) / 2
  • Open — The open price for the contract in the current trading session
  • Close — The closing price for the contract in the current trading session
  • Settle — The settlement price for the contract from the previous trading session
Use indicative settlement price when available Sets whether to use indicative settlement prices (IndSettle column in the Market Grid) instead of settlement prices when calculating P&L If the indicative settlement price is not available, the calculation will use the settlement price. (Applies only when the P/L Calculation setting is Settle or LTP Waterfall)

Grouping

Setting Description
Group by Sets whether to display positions grouped by Risk Group, Account, Exchange, Product, Contract or to display no grouping hierarchy.
Auto-arrange group columns Automatically arranges columns in the Positions widget based on the “Group by” selection.
