How to read this page

The dashboard is the live landing page for the current filtered order book and futures curve. Use it to inspect top-of-book conditions quickly before moving into the deeper analytics pages.

Metric glossary

Order book tableShows the selected venue, contract type, and prompt structure with bid/ask, visible size, and UK-local timestamps. The colour convention is side-based: green is bid-side liquidity and orange-red is ask-side liquidity, matching the cumulative depth chart. Blue still marks neutral structural changes such as size, prompt, or time updates.

Futures curvePlots bid and ask by prompt-date order, nearest on the left and furthest on the right, for the current filtered view.

Venue focusSwitches the live book between LMEselect, Interoffice, and Ring where data is available.

Prompt structureSeparates outrights from carries so the landing page stays readable before drilling into the specialist analytics pages.

Selected venue order book

Compact live read of the displayed book. Green means bid-side liquidity, red means ask-side liquidity, and blue marks neutral structural updates. Tighter prices, steadier timestamps, and more balanced size generally suggest healthier immediate conditions.

Selected venue cumulative depth

Cumulative displayed liquidity for the selected prompt. Green is bid-side depth and red-orange is ask-side depth. Larger curves generally indicate more displayed size, while the gap in the middle is the spread. Very one-sided or shallow curves usually mean thinner immediate tradability.

PromptVisible levels: All

Futures curve

Shape of the current bid and ask curve across prompt dates. A smoother curve usually suggests more orderly pricing, while sharp kinks or unusually wide bid-ask separation can signal weaker liquidity or stressed relative pricing at particular prompts.
