Optimus Flow - What's New? | Release Notes | Current Version 1.100.1

Hi @Kickinit,

I just wanted to follow up on your issue. We have not seen this before and our developers have asked for further details.

Is this still continuing to happen for you? Does the rest of the platform function properly and is everything else stable? Or is only the update screen causing issues?

Please let me know!
Thanks,
Jake

Hi @Mod-JakeM. After reading your post I went to check Parallels Network configuration and it was set to Default Adapter and should have been Shared Network. After changing the network setting to Shared Network and restarting Windows and OF, the update worked. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your help.

What’s New? | Release Notes | Current Version: 1.96.1

Attention Optimus Futures community members and Optimus Flow users,

As of last night, we have launched our latest major update, Version: 1.96.1. This update has added breakeven stop loss orders, drawing synchronization, further DOM customization, automated order entry in the form of scheduled and time split orders, bugfixes and more.


Breakeven Stop Loss Orders

Users can now place a breakeven stop order. Replace or set a stop order for an open position to Breakeven with one click. When you click the button, all orders will be cancelled and stop order will be set to the position’s open price.

With this new addition, we’ve Added Breakeven to the list of trading hotkeys in the Chart, TPO Chart, DOM Trader, DOM Surface panels.


Drawing Synchronization

This new addition allows for synchronization between different charts with the same symbol. For example, if you enable this feature and draw a trend line on a chart for the ES any other chart with the ES symbol applied will also draw this trend line in the same exact location regardless of the chart type or aggregation settings.

In order to enable this feature, go to chart panel settings and set ‘Drawings default availability’ to ‘All chart with same symbol’.

For any users with existing drawings who would like this feature enabled, open a context menu of any drawing. Set ‘Availability’ to ‘All charts with same symbol’.


FullScreen Mode

Added the FullScreen Mode with the ability to manage the functionality of the panel without limitations — trading operations, adding indicators and drawing tools. Use hotkey or button on header of the panel to activate Fullscreen mode.


Trading Account Privacy

Keep the trading account privacy during screen sharing by using a new general setting — Hide Account name.


DOM Customization

  • With the latest version of Optimus Flow, you can make even more customizations of the DOM Trader panel, based on our community feedback:

  • · Highlighting Imbalance, Bid/Ask values — go to DOM trader panel settings → Columns → Imbalance and set filter for Bid/Ask or for Total value.

  • · Highlighting total values for Imbalance

  • · Reduce the price value by hiding the required number of digits

  • · Possibility to specify custom colors for any columns — go to the panel settings and specify colors for background, text, positive/negative value, etc.

  • · Possibility to specify a custom font for each column, total values, header.

  • · Possibility to adjust text alignment in columns

  • · Customization of visibility for all columns.

  • · New coloring schemes for Bid/Ask columns — now you can select Solid coloring mode for rows or you can disable any coloring here by selecting None mode.

  • · Possibility to adjust histogram alignment in Bid/Ask columns

In this version, we have also improved trading through the panel:

  • · Mouse-down trading. Reduced the time for placing orders through the panel. Instead of a full mouse click, orders are placed by the mouse down action.
  • · Trading via Bid/Ask. Placing orders through the Bid / Ask columns. Further management of existing orders is performed through the Buy / Sell columns.
  • · Refresh rate. Added the ability to control the rate (ms) of market data update. This determines how often the panel refresh changes in depth of market (depends on data provider). With a value of 1, all changes to the level2 data will be processed immediately. We recommend using value 100. Note, the smaller the value, the more system resources required.

Automated Orders

Users now have the ability to use order placing strategies that can implement advanced trading algorithms such as splitting order by time or volume, Iceberg, local SL/TP, Traling, etc. In near future we will add more predefined strategies as well as provide a possibility to create your own.

  • · Order placing strategy “Scheduled” This strategy will send your order at a specified time.

  • · Order placing strategy “Time Split” This strategy will divide the size of your order on equal parts and send them in a few steps according to specified Display Quantity and via selected time Interval.

Example of Scheduled Orders:

We have now added a free, delayed data connection via the Rithmic data feed. This data feed will automatically connect for first time Optimus Flow users to provide them with data immediately upon platform opening.

Hey there! I just thought I might breathe a little life back into this thread. Since that last post, there have been a few feature additions and QOL improvements. I’m not sure if everyone is aware of them, but a few of them have certainly come in hand for me! :grin:

Hi @Daedalus,

Thanks for letting us know the new features have helped!

I will comprise a list of new features that have been added since my last post and try to post them here as soon as possible.

Since my last post above, we’ve added quite a bit of new features related to our DOM and MBO (market by order) data.

We made a video about these new features, feel free to take a look:

Thanks again for your feedback and we’re glad to hear these new QOL features and additions have helped you!

Hi all! I was wondering if bracket order strategies are available with a rithmic connection? I see that the platform supports them but it says CQG and I can’t seem to find this anywhere in the platform. Just to clarify, When I say bracket order strategies, I mean the ability to set order templates and save them for future use rather than having to set up the local sl/tp each time I log into the platform. Thanks so much!

Here’s a link to another thread that will hopefully answer your questions!

@Daedalus Thank you for sharing this post!

@Icbto09 - Thanks for your question as well.

The post shared above only shows how to link an bracket order strategy as an OCO after it was already placed. You can pre-configure bracket orders before placing your entry orders by using the “No SL/No TP” buttons the order entry panel of your charts/DOM.

Take a look here: Order Entry - OptimusFLOW

I hope this helps,

Thanks both for the response! I’m actually looking for something like version 1.100.1 from earlier in this thread states. I am aware of the stop loss and take profit from the panel on thee chart, however I need to set those EACH time I log in and don’t have the ability to save the settings as an order template. I hope this makes sense!

@Icbto09

Is this more along the lines of what you are looking for?

Order Template Example #3

After you click on apply, you’ll see that the template was applied and you won’t have to set them up every time! I hope that helped! :metal:

Hey everyone, I have another question. Thanks so much for showing me how to save order templates, now I’m wondering if it’s possible to save multi-bracket order templates? The only way I’ve seen how to do them is with the local tp/sl but they just get deleted when I close the program and I have to set them up each time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The ability to do this might depend on the data feed provider you use. As far as I’m aware, CQG is the only one that does that. @Mod-JakeM and @Mod-MattZ would be able to provide more information than myself.

Now, I may also be incorrect about this, but I think since you’re using local S/L and T/P they’re not stored server side, so in that situation, they wouldn’t be persistent between application restarts.

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong though!

Yeah I figured as much because I saw in an earlier post that that functionality had CQG labeled on it. Thanks so much for the response!!!

Hi @Icbto09,

Thank you for your question!

@Daedalus is correct, at this time, only the CQG data feed supports the “multi-bracket templates” as you may have seen in other screenshots.

For Rithmic users you can essentially configure your own multi-bracket setup through the method you described or by placing several working orders and then linking them as OCOs after (these are server side).

To link orders as OCOs after they are placed open the ORD - working orders window, select both orders, hold CTRL on your keyboard and left click both orders you want linked as an OCO and they will highlight. Once are both higlighted, right click on one of the orders and choose the LINK AS OCO option.

As you can see both orders are highlighted blue, which means they are both selected.

Once both orders are blue, right click as shown below and select LINK OCO:

image

After they are linked, the order type column should display the orders as (OCO), see below:

image

Once your orders are linked this way, once one order is filled or removed, the other order will automatically cancel on the server.

I hope this helps!
