General improvements

Live ranking in Market and Composite Window

The Market Window and Composite Window now supports live sorting for each column.

Drag-and-drop improvements

In earlier versions of the program you could drag-and-drop a single symbol between windows and lists. This has now been extended so that you can select a block of symbols and drag-and-drop them on a list:

You can drop a list of symbols on the List page of a Market or Composite window or on a Basket Trading window (to automatically create basket orders for each dropped symbol). 

Ranking in the Composite window

While you have always been able to rank your custom built lists in the Composite window simply by double-clicking on the +/- columns, we have now added a separate Ranking page. This page ranks the winners, losers and highest turnover symbols taken from your custom list.

Icons on tab pages

We have made the windows containing multiple pages a little friendlier by including graphical icons next to the next for most pages. Here are some examples.

Caption buttons

By default, each window now contains three new buttons on the window caption. These buttons are short-cuts for existing commands and they show the current on or off state for each command.

These features are also available as right-click commands; Right-click and Edit | Link this Window, Properties | Pin Window and Properties | Always on top, respectively. If you would rather not see these caption buttons (and on Windows Vista, their presence will turn off the class effect in the caption), you can turned them off from the Tools | User Interface settings dialog. 

Orderbook improvements

The two summary lines in the orderbook have been extended to contain information about the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), High and Low prices.

The same information is available in the orderbook that is embedded inside the Order Entry window. You can turn the Summary and Summary2 lines of the orderbook on and off using the right-click menu.

Trading halt alerts

Some exchanges send out logical matching halt and suspended messages on instruments when trading in those instruments have been temporarily disabled. These messages are now displayed as trading halt alerts – automatically popping up the Alerts page of the Communication Status window.

Chains

In version 4.0 Infront there is possible to open pre-defined lists for certain markets included FTSE 100, CAC 40, Nasdaq 100, NYSE 100 etc. In addition Infront has defined chains for a selection of indices including European, Nordic and North American Indices. The functionality appears under a new Tab called "Chains":

From Stockholm SE, Stocks

 

From London SE, UK Stocks

 

From the Composite Window

Index Constituents

For certain indices there will be possible to drill down the constituents from an index.

Internal order warnings

If you try to insert a new order that crosses an existing order, a new Internal order warning dialog will be displayed. The dialog shows information about the conflicting orders and lets you Abort the order or Ignore the warning.

Two orders are defined as crossing if the following is true:

- The orders are on the same portfolio and symbol
- One is a buy and one is a sell order
- The prices are crossing (the orders would match)
- Both orders are active

The internal order warnings are on by default, but it is possible to turn them off by unchecking the "[X] Internal order warning" setting on the Alerts page of the Tools | Order Entry settings dialog.

Internal trade warnings

If two trades within a short time period cross each other, a new Internal trade warning dialog will be displayed. The dialog shows information about the two crossing trades. In some cases the conflicting trade may have to be deleted at the exchange (subject to specific exchange rules).

The trades are defined as crossing if the following is true:

- The trades are on the same portfolio and symbol
- One is a buy and one is a sell order
- The prices are crossing
- The trades executed within a 2 second timeframe
