We obtain a chord diagram description of the spade of all complex-valu
ed finite type invariants in Arnold's J(+)-theory of planar fronts. Ou
r result means that, apart from the Maslov index, all finite type inva
riants of Legendrian knots in the standard contact solid torus are tho
se of framed knots.
