 Step 5a- The Trading Screen Explained
 
The Trading Screen gives you information about the contracts

B Qty- This is the number of contracts you can sell at the BID price (the number wanted by someone at this price)
Bid- This is the price someone is willing to pay for contracts - the price at which you can sell
Offer- This is the price at which someone else is willing to sell contracts - the price at which you can buy.

Offer Qty-
This is number of contracts you can buy at the OFFER price (the number someone has to sell at this price)
Last- This is the last price contracts were traded at.
Vol- This is the total number of contracts traded to date on the event
Change- This shows the change in price over the day so far

Order Book

Contract ID- Each event contract has an order book associated with it. The contract name is shown at the top of the order book.
Bid Column- If you want to sell contracts in the event, the bid column shows what other people want to buy - how many contracts and at what price. In the example shown, someone wants to buy 10 contracts in this event at a price of (E$)48 per contract - this is the best price currently available. However, someone else wants to buy 300 contracts at a price of (E$)47.
Offer Column- If you want to buy contracts in the event, the offer column shows what other people have to sell - how many contracts and what price they want. In the example, someone wants to sell 300 contracts in the event at (E$)52 each and someone else wants to sell 3 contracts at (E$)66 each. Again, the best price available for you is at the top of the list.
