Order Entry Montage

Spinner Tab

Features in the "Spinner" tab in Neovest's "Montage Preferences" box let you decide whether to display pending orders in the market maker, ECN, and regional exchange section in a Montage window solely from your account or also from other accounts and users to whom you have access. Once you select the accounts and/or users whose pending orders you wish to display, you may manipulate your accessible pending orders on specific symbols in real time.

Using Neovest's Spinner functionality you may increase and decrease the bid and ask amounts of your pending orders and any other pending orders to which you have access in real time and thus position your accessible pending orders exactly where you wish them to be in relation to other real-time bids and asks in a Montage window. Neovest's Spinner functionality also lets you increase and decrease the sizes of your accessible pending orders in real time.

Note: Neovest only permits you to manipulate your pending orders and the pending orders of the accounts and/or users that appear in the "Spinner" tab in the "Montage Preferences" box. In order for a particular account and/or user to appear in the "Spinner" tab in the "Montage Preferences" box, your Neovest account must have been previously set up to allow access to the pending orders of the individual account and/or user.

Additional features in this tab let you select a color to colorize your orders, select a font size, choose to display the leaves quantity associated pending orders, and specify Neovest to auto select your most-recent order.

The following instructions explain how you may (1) select the accounts and/or users whose pending orders you wish to view and manipulate and (2) select various color, font, display, and highlight variances in the market maker, ECN, and regional exchange section in a Neovest Montage window:

With an Order Entry Montage window open on your screen, click the gear icon, located on the far-right of the toolbar.

Click the "Preferences" icon on the drop-down menu that appears.

Once the "Montage Preferences" box appears, select the "Spinner" tab.
