If switched on, it is no longer necessary to hold down <CTRL> to draw annotations in charts.

Support separate unconsolidated markets (where available)

Instead of consolidating market data to one market place, switching this option on will give access to the unconsolidated feeds separately.

Calculate yesterday's +/- values

Show yesterday's +/- change while the market is closed.

Calculate pre-market +/- values

When pre-trade Bid and Ask values match, this option calculates change (+/- and +/-%) values in the pre-market period when there were no trades (and no last price).

This allows you to see where the market will open for each symbol that has pre-market orderbooks.

Select whether the quick-search should search in:

• All markets you have access to (slowest)

• The same market (as the instrument you are looking at, fast)

• Only in workspace (Infront Professional Terminal checks what is currently open in your workspace and searches through the markets, fast)

Prioritize consolidated markets

Some users have static consolidated markets from the server. When this is available, the search results can be prioritized to display results from these markets first.

Exclude MTFs

Select this checkbox to avoid seeing search results from MTFs such as BATS and Chi-X.

Removing asset types you never search for can help display results most relevant to you.
