    There is a steady trend building up. Additionally, the bid/ask gets volatile when it gets to the bottom of the range.

    xandman, is that Qtrader or IC? I've been considering opening an account at DDT with the Qtrader setup to better trade spreads.

    Qtrader. It's kind of weird. A tech once showed me a way to chart a custom intermarket spread via QFormula and I even brought it up on a DOM. Anyway, he said that CQGIC functions were trickling down to QTrader unannounced.

    Later on, the functionality disappeared. Perhaps, It was a bug that he reported. Or, maybe I just forgot how to do it right.

    Btw, AMP has it for free.

    Is it the formula stuff being done in this video:



    I realize that's IC but the functionality might be the same.

    QTrader is much more limited.

    This is pretty much it: You define a spread in Formula Builder and you chart it. You can't bring it up on a DOM and you will have to leg in to execute.

    However, you can analyze option spreads (I discovered upgraded features tonight), graph forward curves, graph a fixed income product according to yield and get full RTD functionality/library. To call them RTD samples is an understatement.

    I'd think for any non-native spread you're stuck legging in anyways unless you have an auto-spreader, right? I figure for the exchange spreads it won't make a difference.

    What do u think about closing this spread? Seasonality is until June, but we didn't manage to break the support and so there is a pin bar

    I am in V5-J6 and I am looking for this support to get broken indeed...On my spread it would validate a large head and shoulders pattern.
