Information area of the Order Book (Coming soon)
On the right of the Order Book is a control panel. The panel carries a number of applications:
Displaying the names of orders and positions
Grouping orders and positions at price levels when applying a multiplier
Moving applications via drag&drop
Placing protective orders (SL / TP) via drag&drop
Placing OCO (One Cancels the Other) orders via drag&drop
Composition of order signatures and positions
If there are several elements at the same price level, then the name of the first one is displayed in the Order Book. Also the signature of this level is marked with an ellipsis "..." indicating the existence of other elements at the level.
There are two ways to see hidden elements:
to reduce the price multiplier: in the case the elements were at different levels and were combined applying a higher multiplier
through the Order Book control widget: using the Book Order control widget
Moving the orders
This operation can be realized by pressing LMB on a order in the list and moving it up and down across the Order Book. One can move an individual orders as well as a group of orders.
If you move away the limiting indicator of the working area in Order Book, then the discarding order will be at the same price level as previously.
Protective order
By holding down the hotkey associated with the placement of a protective order and the left mouse button, one can quickly place the corresponding protective order for an open order or position. To do this one moves the cursor over the label for marking a single order or position on the existing level and hold down the hotkey. Then the icon for canceling an order changes to the SL / TP icon.
The placing protective orders mode works only with one type of element at a given level (one order or one position).
OCO orders
ΠΠ‘Π (One Cancels the Other) - there are two paired orders with automatic cancellation, provided that the opposite order was executed or canceled by the user.
For example, there is a limit order to buy L3 and a limit order to sell L-5. The application is designed according to the OCO logic. If order L3 is executed or canceled by the user, order L-5 will be automatically canceled. The opposite is also true when the user executes or cancels the L-5 order.
Often, the stop loss and take profit orders are connected by OCO logic. When one of the protective orders is executed, the opposite one is canceled. This logic makes it possible to avoid the risk of execution when the position is already closed.
By holding down the hotkey associated with the placement of the protective orders and the left mouse button, you can quickly place the corresponding protective orders for an open order or position. To do this, you move the cursor over the label for marking a single order or position on the existing level and hold down the hotkey. Then the icon for canceling an order changes to the OCO icon.
