`WINDOW
`The MD Trader window displays
`the bid and ask display regions
`in a window and centers the first
`and second indicators in the
`window upon receipt of a
`centering instruction.
`
`For instance, MD Trader centers
`the inside market upon receipt of
`a re-centering command by the
`user, such as by pressing the
`spacebar on a keyboard or
`double-clicking in the Price
`column. See Figure 1; Ex. 1,
`X_TRADER® Version 7.12.X
`User Manual, p. 344 (“To center
`the market: Press the
`Spacebar.”); p. 362 (“Double-
`click the Price column to
`recenter the MD Trader grid.”);
`see also Ex. 2, p. 303; Ex. 3, p.
`111.
`
`TRADESTATION’S MATRIX
`WINDOW
`TradeStation’s Matrix window
`displays the bid and ask display
`regions in a window and centers
`the first and second indicators in
`the window upon receipt of a re-
`centering instruction. For
`example, a user may center the
`display of the first and second
`indicators in the window by right
`clicking on the Matrix window,
`left clicking Center At, and left
`clicking Last, Bid, Mid, or Ask.
`TT understands that the middle
`mouse button may also be used
`to manually re-center the
`display. See Figure 4B.
`
`IBG’S
`BOOKTRADER
`BookTrader displays the bid and
`ask display regions in a window
`and centers the first and second
`indicators in the window upon
`receipt of a centering instruction.
`For example, in BookTrader, a
`user may center the display of
`the first and second indicators in
`the window by clicking on the
`Re-center Button. See Figures
`3B, 3C. See also Ex. 6 at p. 253
`(“Set a hotkey to recenter the
`focus to either the last traded
`price, or the midpoint bid/ask
`price. Set the re-center focus
`using the Settings page in the
`BookTrader configuration
`area.”); WebTrader Users’
`Guide, July 2015 at p. 38 (“Click
`Re-center to keep the best
`bid/ask price or last traded price
`always visible in the center of
`the BookTrader screen.”).
