EOS-Trader contains a set of functions that each is represented by a perspective.
A perspective provides a set of functionality aimed at accomplishing a specific type of task, or working with a specific type of resource. For example, the Trading History perspective allows you to view order and trade history.
A perspective contains views (see Views), such as the My Watch List view on the Trading perspective.
Navigating between perspectivesIt is always possible to go to another perspective, whether it is already open or not. If the perspective you are looking for is not open, open it. If a perspective is open, the perspective name and icon appears as a button on the perspective bar (see Perspectives bar).
To navigate between perspectivesDo any of the following:
Click on the button with the perspective name.
Click on the button with the perspective symbol (only if you have decided to hide the perspective names on the buttons, see Perspectives bar).
Click http://bestinfo2010.com/PCM/eos/m.PNG on the perspectives bar. A shortcut menu with the names of the open perspectives appears. Click on the name of the perspective to go to it.
http://bestinfo2010.com/PCM/eos/m2.PNG
You can configure a perspective to fit your style of working. Views can be moved around and also detached to a separate window.

Creating your own perspectivesInstead of reconfiguring a perspective, you can create your own. That perspective can contain all the views that you work the most with. You can move the views around. When you are done, you simply save the perspective to a name of your choice. Since there are so many ways that you can create a perspective in, this instruction is a general guide to what you can do.
Note: Once a perspective is created, it cannot be removed.

Trading protection limits are tailored to protect the system, members, and users against the result of too large amounts or quantities that have been entered by mistake. Trading protection limit validation is performed per order book. The settings can be set either on a global level or on a member basis. The validation looks at static boundaries and/or aggregated information. Each incoming order request is validated against static predefined limits. Each order is also validated against the aggregated value of open orders on the same side. Trades are validated against a netted value of all trades for the specific order book.
The following topics describes how to work with trading protection limits:
Setting trading protection limits
Removing trading protection limits
Removing all trading protection limits, applying the global trading protection limits
Removing trading protection limits in one of many setting groups
Removing trading protection limits in the only setting group
Finding trading protection limit settings
Setting trading protection limitsYou can set the trading protection limits for members and member units.
Note: It is possible to set trading protection limits when logged in as a super user.
To set trading protection limits
On the User Management perspective, go to the Trading Protection Limits view.
Right-click a member or a member unit in the tree structure. A shortcut menu appears.
Click Add Setting Groups. A dialog box appears.
Enter a name of a group to contain segments or tradable instruments with trading protection limits and click OK. The name now appears under Settings Groups.
In the Segments and Tradable Instruments list, select the segments or tradable instruments to have trading protection limits.
Type a trading protection limit value in any of the boxes under Static validation (each order) or Aggregated validation.
Save the changes.
The trading protection limits are now applied each time you insert or update an order, or activate an inactive order. If a limit value is exceeded, a message is displayed and the action is not performed.
The trading protection limits also affect trades. However, if a limit value is exceeded, the action is still performed.
You can remove the trading protection limits in the following ways:
Remove all trading protection limits for a member or member unit, automatically applying the global trading protection limits (see Removing all trading protection limits, applying the global trading protection limits).
Remove trading protection limits in one of many setting groups for a member or member unit (see Removing trading protection limits in one of many setting groups).
Remove trading protection limits in the only setting group for a member or member unit (see Removing trading protection limits in the only setting group).
Removing all trading protection limits, applying the global trading protection limitsTo remove all trading protection limits
On the User Management perspective, go to the Trading Protection Limits tab.
Right-click an individual member or a member unit in the tree structure. The selected element must have at least one setting group. A shortcut menu appears.

Press [Delete].
Right-click the selected element and, on the shortcut menu that appears, click Remove.
Save the changes.
The trading protection limits are removed.
Removing trading protection limits in the only setting groupNote: This method requires there is just one setting group for the member or member unit.
On the User Management perspective, go to the Trading Protection Limits tab.
Click an individual member or a member unit in the tree structure. The selected element must have only one setting group.
In the Setting Groups column, click the setting group to be removed and do one of the following:

A dialog box with a message appears.
Click OK to confirm the message.
The trading protection limits are removed. No global trading protection limits apply to the selected element—the setting group name in the Setting Groups column is replaced by the text <No Limit>.
Finding trading protection limit settingsIf there are multiple setting groups of trade protection limits for a certain member or member unit, it may not be so easy to immediately see in what setting group a specific segment or tradable instrument occurs. However, there is a way to search for it.
To find a trading protection limit setting
On the User Management perspective, go to the Trading Protection Limits tab.
Right-click the top level (all members), a member, or a member unit in the tree structure. A shortcut menu appears.

You can create rules that trigger when something special happens in the market. All conditions in the rule need to be met for the rule to trigger.

An example of an action is a sound alert.
