Filter Settings |
There are three ways to filter the window:
At the bottom left corner of the Orders window, the filter criteria are displayed. At the bottom right, the number of displayed rows and the total number of rows is shown. For example: Rows 9[17] would mean that an unfiltered window would display 17 rows, and that the current filter displays 9 out of these 17 rows. Click the No Filter button, or press the <Esc> key on your keyboard, to clear all filters. Note: Filters are applied on all columns, not just the visible ones. |
Field Description |
To view field descriptions, do the following:
|
Multiple Instances |
You can have multiple instances of the Orders window open at the same time. The purpose of this is to allow you to apply different filters for each instance. To open a new instance of the window, simply select Window > Orders in the Main menu again. |
Scroll Documents |
Documents in this context means the instances of the Market View, Orders, Trades and Order History windows. You can scroll through these instances by clicking the left or right arrow buttons, or you can open a list of all documents by clicking the down arrow button. ![]() |
Columns |
The Orders window has a number of columns that are displayed by default. You can sort the displayed information by clicking the column headings, and you can rearrange the columns directly in the window by drag and drop. To add or remove visible columns, right-click a column heading to open the Select Visible Columns dialogue. |
Export |
The Export-button in the upper right corner allows you to export the contents of the table to a file (Excel, CSV). The current sorting order and filtering will be respected during the export. An appropriate filename describing the contents and time of generation will be generated for you, but is possible to modify. |
To modify an order, right-click it and select Modify Order in the context menu, or double-click it, to open the Order Panel, which will be in Modify Order state. The Modify Order state is no different from the New Order state, so for detailed information regarding the Order panel, refer to 4.1 above.
If the order being modified is modified or deleted by the exchange or by another user while displayed in the Order Panel a warning is displayed and if the order was deleted, order modification is canceled.There are three ways to delete an order:
Right-click the order(s) and select Delete Order in the context menu.
Select the order(s) and click the corresponding Delete Order button in the Toolbar.
Select the order(s) and press the <Delete> key on your keyboard.
Depending on your application settings, an Order Modification / Deletion confirmation dialogue may appear asking you to confirm your action. Refer to 3.5 above for more information on confirmation dialogues.
Tip: One way to quickly cancel all orders at the same time is to use your keyboard and do multi select (Ctrl + A) and then press the <Delete> key. |
You may not change the Instrument or side as this will cancel the order and create a new one.
The basic rule is that the priority of an order is retained if the volume is reduced. Increasing the volume or changing the price will result in the loss of priority.
