In the Smart DOM terminal, the Order Book has a composite structure. This fact makes it possible to enable/disable some elements. The Order Book consists of the following components:

* The Price Scale displays the current price of the financial instrument according to the placed limit orders.&#x20;
* The Volume Scale displays the volume of orders at each price level.&#x20;
* The Trading Block is located at the right side of the Order Book and shows the order position and active orders.&#x20;
* The PnL widget is located at the bottom of the Order Book and shows the current result for the order position

It is necessary to underlined that the relationship between the elements and their combinations affect the resulting configuration and functionality of the Order Book.
