User Interface Conventions

Quant Analytics features are intuitive and easy to navigate via standard drop-down menus, calendars, text boxes, etc.

Navigate to various dashboards from a top drop-down menu.

Functions common to various dashboards are described in the sections below.

Date Ranges – Start and End Date

Specify date ranges for analysis by clicking the calendar. The default is month-to-date.

Start and End Times

Choose a specific time period. The default is current time less 4 hours and 15 minutes, expressed in GMT time. The 15 minutes accounts for an approximate 15 minute GMT (00:00:00.000 GMT and 20:00:00.000 GMT) data delay.

Submit Button

Press Submit to request data from the server when you have entered new input. Submit is not needed to switch between dashboards.

Exporting Data

Options to download data are available depending on the type dashboard.

For example, under “EBS Market Profile, selecting the “Data” tab will display the Excel and CSV options in the right corner above the table.

The dashboards for LC Market Impact, LP Market Impact, LC Alpha Report, and LP Alpha Report have the option to download CSV file (up to 6,000 lines of data) or Full zipfile (complete datasets).

Errors

In addition to the 30-minute inactivity timeout (the application automatically logs out if no queries are submitted for 30 minutes), there may be occasional error messages. This can happen for many reasons. See section below for an example.

Note: For any errors, please take a screen shot, if possible, and contact quantanalytics@cmegroup.com
