We have significantly improved the process to create a Volatility trade on Eurex, which requires a transaction identifier (Options Order ID) from a previously executed options trade. Currently you must manually locate the related options trade in the Order Book/OFW/Fills/Audit Trail, copy the transaction identifier, and input that value into the Blocktrader widget for the Volatility trade. Now, Blocktrader for Eurex Volatility orders has changed the "Options Order ID" text input control to a drop-down list that displays completed options trades from the current session for quick selection. Or alternatively, from the Order Book or Orders and Fills widget (OFW), you can right-click on a completed options block trade and select "Send to Blocktrader". That action will launch Blocktrader automatically defined as a Eurex Volatility trade, seeded with the order id from the selected options trade and also seeded with the underlying futures contract for that option instrument. You can then adjust as needed before submitting the Volatility trade to the exchange.

From the Order Book, you can now repeat a previously submitted JPX wholesale trade. The functionality is similar to what happens for non-block trades, except that upon clicking the "Repeat" button, Blocktrader is launched instead of the Order Ticket. The market, trade type and other values from the selected order are seeded in Blocktrader. You can then adjust any values if needed before submitting the new OTC trade. Note that while this is initially only supported for JPX we plan to extend this functionality to other markets in the near future.

Blocktrader now allows you to save defaults per market with a right-click "Save as defaults for <Market Name>" context menu. When that item is selected, all currently populated fields and settings for that market are saved as the defaults for that market. Then when selecting a market, the saved fields are seeded with those default values.

Blocktrader is now consistent across all markets and displays the leg instruments, prices and quantities for multi-leg spread and strategy exchange instruments to provide visual confirmation of quantities submitted per leg based on the overall order quantity and leg ratios.

Improvements

Blocktrader

Blocktrader now supports setting price per leg on Eurex trade types for non-covered multi-leg spread and strategy instruments. When the checkbox is enabled, the price cells in the leg rows are editable, same as other markets that support price per leg. Note that this is currently a front end only feature, and full support will be available when the Eurex order gateways are deployed in the near future.

Improvements

Blocktrader

Blocktrader no longer displays the Profile and Account controls in the left panel for all markets, consistent with how Eurex and EEX are currently configured. These controls still appear in the main right hand side buy and sell side sections. Setting the first side (normally buy) will seed that same profile/account to the second side (sell) and you can adjust the 2nd side if needed.

Improvements

Blocktrader

When multi-leg exchange listed instruments are selected in Blocktrader, the leg builder quantity cells are no longer editable, but instead are read-only and dynamically display the quantity values based on the leg ratios applied to the value in the main order quantity control. Adjusting the main order quantity will update the values in the (read only) leg quantity cells.

Fixes

Fixed an issue where the Blocktrader "Price off tick" feature sometimes did not work correctly for multi-leg spread instruments.
