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)

This is the last price contracts were traded at.
Vol-
This is the total number of contracts traded to date on the event

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.
