Static vs Dynamic Price Ladder Display
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

You may have the option of using either a static (original SuperDOM) or dynamic price ladder display SuperDOM depending on your FCM or broker. The difference between these options is how the inside market is displayed in the price ladder display.



Static


Dynamic



To assist with submitting and modifying orders in the dynamic price ladder display during volatile market activity you can choose to suspend (freeze) the price ladder display by pressing the 'HOLD' button with your left mouse button or by pressing the 'Space' bar of your keyboard.



Once suspended, the button will highlight red in color and display 'HELD'. You can now safely submit or modify an order without the price of the underlying row change. Be sure to enable the dynamic updating of the price action in the price ladder display after you have completed your order submission or modification by pressing on the 'HELD' button or your keyboard 'Space' bar. In addition, the inside market will be displayed in the top row.


  1. Best bid
  2. Net change (last traded price) from the time the display was suspended
  3. Best ask
