Working Orders

The Working Orders table, to the right of the chart, displays information about your working orders (see Figure 7.1 below). Some of these orders may be generated by automated strategies, while others may be orders which you have entered directly using the Order Ticket or the Trading Pad. You may modify, cancel or activate these orders, depending on their type

Figure 7.1: The Working Orders Table

In the Action Type column, Buy orders appear with a blue background, and Sell orders appear with a red background.

When you click an order in the Working Orders table, the line that represents this order in the chart is highlighted.

When you click an order line in the chart, the order is highlighted in the Working Orders table. (The row with the darker highlight is the order you have clicked, and the row with the lighter highlight is its reciprocal order).

The following table describes the data displayed in each column:
