2.2 Order Window

The first tab “Order” brings you to the Order Window. This is the window where you can enter an order, view your open orders, cancel an order or cancel all open orders, view and change your default order entry settings.

Figure 2.2

By default, a Buy order will appear in green while a Sell order or Short order will appear in red. Each order has a unique order ID. When you need to investigate your order status with your service provider, you must use the order ID as a reference.

An order entered into the system will have an initial status as Pending. Once the exchange acknowledges the receiving of this order, the order status becomes Open. When an order has a partial fill, your outstanding quantity (Qty) will be adjusted; and the order status will be Partial Fill. When an order is fully executed, that entry will disappear from the Order Window.
