Trade from the chart

Drop an order pill at the crosshair, drag it, and submit without leaving the chart.

Place an order

  1. Hover the chart where you want the price and press o. An order pill appears at the crosshair, sized from your Order Entry defaults.
  2. Drag the pill up or down to adjust the price. The pill shows side and quantity.
  3. Click Submit on the pill (or press Enter). Press Esc to discard it.

Right-click the chart for the same actions from a menu.

Working orders on the chart

Every working order draws as a line at its price. Drag the line to modify the price — the desk cancels and replaces the order, which means a new latency draw and a new place in the queue, exactly as it would at a broker. The × on the line cancels.

Filled orders become execution markers.

The o key is configurable under Settings → Hotkeys → Chart. It never sends an order by itself; the pill is what you submit.
