Consolidated Orderbook |
Description The Consolidated Orderbook window displays the depth of orders consolidated across multiple markets (feeds) in a single view. With the fragmentation of the equity markets (due to Mifid), it has become harder than ever to get the full market view. With the Consolidated Orderbook you will have one window instead of looking at different orderbooks individually for the same security. By right-clicking on any symbol you will have instant access (by searching on ISIN codes), where each order is displayed with the feed code, price, volume etc. The information displayed can easily be tailored according to your requirements.
