Showing leg markets in a single MD Trader

When launching an aggregated instrument in a single MD Trader, you can display the columns for the leg markets in addition to the Bids and Asks columns for the aggregated instrument by enabling the Show Aggregator leg markets setting.

Right-click in the MD Trader order pane and click Settings in the context menu. In the Settings: MD Trader screen, check the Show Aggregator leg markets setting. This setting is unchecked by default (leg markets are not displayed).
