Description of problem / Suggested improvements
I trade all 6 asset classes. Ags, metals, FX, indices, energy, rates. A few things are a bit annoying, and some simple easy to implement features would really improve the experience:
The CME contract multiplier should be rendered in the top instrument line, maybe next to "Volume". This should be the real multiplier to apply to the price - from CME. Even Tom sometimes asks what the multiplier for the less traded instruments is. I don't know why that's not right there in your face right next to the name of the underlying.
Since these markets trade at different and sometimes odd hours (e.g. ags), having the ability to quickly pull up the active trading hours from a pulldown also from the top instrument line would be tremendously useful. A nice touch would be to have three levels:
Finally, when markets are closed (or taking a 1hr pause at the EOD), the prices sometimes to completely out of whack. This trips up my greeks and my sanity. It would be nice to gray out instruments without an accurate/active book as an indication that "this market is closed/paused" so that the momentary bit of panic that raises my tension is minimized.
