Navigating in IEMXchange

The IEMXchange Screen

The IEMXchange screen is divided into three sections (shown above)

  • Navigation Bar – buttons used for moving around in IEMXchange
  • Market Window – shows current market status
  • Trading Console – where you enter your orders

The Navigation Bar allows you to move between markets and view additional information about markets and your trader account. The functions available to you in the Navigation Bar are described in detail below.

The Market Window shows the current best bid, best ask, and last trade price for all assets traded in the market. In addition, the Market Window contains information about your activity in the market. When one of your outstanding orders reaches the top of its respective queue, an asterisk will appear after the associated best bid or best ask price. The hypertext links in the columns labeled “Quantity Held”, “Your Bids”, and “Your Asks” give you access to information about your trades and outstanding orders for individual assets in the market. Market Window functions are described in detail in the Account Specific Reports and Market Reports sections of this manual.

At the top, right side of the Market Window there are links to “Market Info”, “Order History”, “Portfolio”, and “My Account”. The left side of Market Window has links that will take you to your messages or allow you to leave feedback. Clicking “Leave us feedback on the new IEM” will bring up a survey where you can leave us any comments or feedback you have on the IEM.

The Trading Console allows you to enter trades. This console is described in detail in the Trading section of this manual.
