This module is designed to give you a clean, easy view of all the exchange-listed spreads for a Product/Spread combination and easily place trades for those products if desired.
The Spread Matrix module can be found by clicking the + sign in the upper left-hand corner of KGI Crusoe platform. Simply click on Spread Matrix and drag and drop it to your preferred location on KGI Crusoe platform.
Once you have opened a Spread Matrix, you can search for a Product's spread to populate the grid. Typing in "ES" for example shows a suggestion of the E-Mini SP Reverse Calendar Spread.
Selecting that spread will populate the top line of the grid with the number of legs and some display options that need to be configured in order to display the contracts for viewing.
If you are looking for a spread with a specific contract expiration, you can select it from the "Select Contract" dropdown.
The Matrix builds the combinations by placing contracts on the vertical and horizontal axis and showing the spreads at the intersections. With this in mind, you also have the option to specify if you would like Leg 1 or 2 in the vertical or horizontal axis.
For this example, we show all the different combinations available, so we will not select any specific contracts for either leg and simply put Leg 1 in the horizontal axis and Leg 2 in the vertical axis. In doing so, the underlying grid will populate with contracts in the horizontal and vertical axis and show the spread products that are listed at the intersecting point.
Hovering over different areas of the spread contract will display functions, while hovering over the spread cell will show Buy Mkt and Sell Mkt buttons.
Hovering over the Buy Mkt and Sell Mkt buttons will display a tooltip showing what that action will do.
Hovering over the Bid or Ask buttons will display a tooltip showing what that action will do.
When executing a trade for a spread, you will see an order for the spread contract and the separate legs' positions when you receive the fill.
