- If you elect to display the Others button, click it to include Level I data from market centers that don’t offer Level II data, market centers to which you don’t hold Level II subscriptions, and subscribed exchanges whose buttons are not currently selected. Show or hide the “Others” button from the Deep Book Buttons section of the Settings page.
- The number of deep book data windows that you can display at one time (including BookTrader, ISW and Market Depth) is equal to 1 for every 100 allowed lines of market data, with a minimum of three and a maximum of 30. Market data allowance is based on commissions, available equity and other criteria. So a client with the minimum allowance of 100 lines of market data will be able to open 3 deep book windows. A client with an allowance of 500 lines of market data will be able to open 5 unique deep book windows . For details on how market data allowances are calculated, see the Market Data and News overview page on the IB website.
- When subscription deep book data is at its window limit, additional windows will display aggregated top level data, and the Deep Button panel will be hidden.
