In-Play Trader Markers

 

The 'Markers' tab of the profile editor allows you to configure your markers the way you want in your in-play trader window, you can create as many or few Markers as you need.

 

If you were creating multiple markers you can layer them by using the icon to set their relative position to other markers, ie, you might have a vertical marker to display a key price point then have another Silk style marker to display a runners back price - but as that approaches your line marker you'll probably want the silk icon to remain on top as it passes over the vertical line rather than partly being out if view as it goes under it, therefore you'd ensure the 'Silk' marker was positioned above the 'Vertical' marker in this window.

 

 

To begin creating a marker click on the icon and that will display the 'Marker Configuration' options in the low half of the window, the first step is to then give the marker a name, this is just for your own reference and is helpful if you have created multiple markers and need to go back and edit one at a later time

 

For this example we'll create a simple marker that will highlight where the price point 2.0 is located on the in-play trader screen.

 

Once you've given the marker a name you'll need to select what style it will be from the list of options shown below

 

 

Then you can begin configuring the general position and appearance of the marker

 

Line Thickness* - Lets you set the thickness of the lines of the marker

Height - (Fixed or Row Spacing), 'Fixed' sets the height of the marker position - 'Row Spacing' sets the gap of the marker in the runners row

Fixed Height/Row Spacing minus - Set the number of pixels for the height or spacing of the marker

Vertical Position - Lets you set the marker from the 'Top', 'Centre' and 'Bottom' position

Offset From Top/Centre/Bottom - Lets you set an offset value to be used

 

 

For this example here I've created a vertical line marker which is two pixels wide, and set it to a fixed height of 15 pixels from the centre with no offset

 

 

The X-Axis Position - This option lets you set where your marker will appear along the X-Axis, (if you select either the Horizontal bar or line style you'll be give the option of setting two X-Axis positions - a start and end point), for all other styles only the one X-Axis position is required by choosing from any of the four options below

 

 

Entered Price - Lets you enter your own fixed price

Price Held in a Stored Value - Lets you use a price held by a stored value (you'll be given a text area to enter the name of the stored value you wish to use)

Entered Percentage - Lets you enter your own fixed percentage

Percentage Held in a Stored Value - Lets you use a percentage held by a stored value (you'll be given a text area to enter the name of the stored value you wish to use)

 

The Line Colour section allows you to configure your marker's colour, here you can use a Default, Fixed, Profit/Loss or Value Based Colour Setting

 

 

For the X-Axis Position in the example I've used 'Entered Price' and set it to 2.0, I've also used a fixed colour for the marker and chosen a pinkish shade

 

 

The profile can now be saved by clicking the icon at the top of the window, it will then be available to select and use in your In-play trader window by clicking 'Settings' then choosing it from the 'Apply profile' menu. You can also right-click the toolbar of the In-play Trader to quickly change profiles.

 

 

In the image below you can see how the example profile created above will look, with the vertical line markers clearly showing were the price point 2.0 would appear
