How to use Click Trading
The view presents an ascending vertical list of prices centered between the current bid/ask levels. The outermost column displays all your active and pending orders in the selected portfolio. The "Bid Size" and "Ask Size" columns show the order depth volumes at their respective price levels. The middle column displays the price based on the tick size.
Element | Description |
---|---|
Place an order | Select the portfolio you want to trade on. Select the volume you want to place in the trading venue. Then click with the left mouse-button on the "Bid Size" (for buy order) or the "Ask Size" (for sell order) at the relevant price level. |
Add multiple order at the same level | Click several times in the Bid Size or Ask Size at a certain price level. |
Cancel order | Click the order in the "Buy" or "Sell" column. |
Drag-and-drop | The "Click Trading" window allows you to drag-and-drop from one level to another to change the price. Select the order you want to move. Drag it to a different price level (up/down). It is also possible to move an order from buy-side to sell-side and vice versa. |
Enable "Gap" mode | Gap handling allows you to remove levels in the order book where no orders have been placed. This is especially useful on instruments with very small tick sizes and big gaps between orders. To enable this, right-click in the "Click Trading" window > select "Gap mode" > select between "All", "One" or "None". |
Lock the "Click Trading" window | While the lock is enabled, it is not possible to enter orders in the "Click Trading" window. To enable the lock, right-click in the "Click Trading" window > click "Lock". |
Setup menu | In the "Setup" menu for the "Click Trading" window, you will see several optional settings, such as conditional orders (possible to define the order type), enable/disable hints, clear volume after sending order and more. To access the "Setup" menu, click the "⋮" three dots in the upper right corner of the "Click Trading" window > click "Setup". This opens another window, where you find settings under "Settings" and "Visual". |
