Understanding the Watchlist function

Click on the image to expand

By default the Watchlist window shows the following columns. The user can add, remove or move the available properties as desired. For the list of available properties, see the Properties page.

  1. From the bottom of the watchlist it is possible to open an Order Manager related to the tools present on the watchlist itself. From here you can check the execution of the orders or proceed with the modification and cancellation of the orders;
  2. Enable Fast Trading Mode: it is a particular mode of use recommended to expert users which allows you to send orders to the market with a single mouse click. When the Fast Trading Mode is active the button turns yellow and the cap, Bid, Bid Size, Ask and Ask Size are colored in red and green, indicating that it is possible to send orders by clicking directly on the corresponding price . By clicking on Bid Size and Ask Size a MARKET order is sent, by clicking on Bid and Ask a STOP / LIMIT order is sent. When you click on the price a sliding drop-down menu appears through the mouse wheel to choose the desired price. Orders are sent to the Account selected above, with the chosen quantity. If no Account is indicated no order will be sent. At this link you’ll find a tutorial video for this feature;
  3. The central part of the watchlist shows the list of assets selected with their properties;
  4. The watchlist is very broad in order to be able to add Indicators directly to it, without necessarily having to open a chart.
