The first thing you need to do is to set the number of lots you wish to trade. You can then place orders, as explained below. Orders are placed according to the predefined settings (see Setting Trading Defaults).
To set lots:
In the Trading Pad, in the lot size edit box above the price table, set the desired number of lots by using the up or down arrows, or by typing it in. You may also click one of the four Lot Size buttons below the edit box (these buttons are customizable, see Table 5.2.
To place an order:
-
For a Buy order, click the Bids column next to the desired price. For a Sell order, click the Asks column next to the desired price. If you are using the One-Click Trading option (see Confirming Trades on page 39), the order is placed immediately. You can see the order in the w orders column of the Trading Pad table, as well as in the Working Orders table and in the Chart.
-
If you are not using the One-Click Trading option, a Confirm dialog box appears. Click Yes to confirm. The order is placed. You can see the order in the w orders column of the Trading Pad table, as well as in the Working Orders table and in the Chart.
NOTE: Trading Pad's default operational mode is that the last price is always centralized. To ensure correct order placement click Freeze button on the bottom of the Trading Pad window, or to click Ctrl key to freeze prices and ask/bids volume values, while order fields and last price volume will still be updated.
