Frustrated with Spread Trading Futures on NT8

[gusta39]

Our votes have been added for years but NT does not take into account the demand of its users, it is grievous...

[elliot5]

Pls add my vote to SFT -619. What is the state of play with this? I am interested in VX spread trades. Can NT trade the instrument calendar spreads or chart them? Regards

Hello elliot5,

Thank you for your reply.

I have added a vote for you to SFT-619. There is no current update on the status of this request.

Trading a calendar spread may be achieved by submitting orders to two different contracts of an instrument. You can see this article from our blog here:

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

I am a user of the NT8 platform and a Spreads operator, I would find this function very useful.

Please add my vote to ticket ID SFT-619. Thank you.

Please also add my vote here. I was shocked that native support for arithmetic plotting of two or more instruments was absent.

In addition to spread charting, order support for spread trades would be needed just like we can do with options at every options brokerage (e.g. multi-leg options trades). These two features should appear in tandem else the charting will be more or less worthless.

Thanks!
