EnhancementsThere have been a number of improvements and enhancements to the Click Trading window, including: •Window remembers the last used window size •Own orders will now be marked in yellow by default. •A separate (configurable) background colors used in the cells that shows your order volumes. •You can display, create and cancel conditional orders directly from the Click Trading window (this assumes that your trading provider supports conditional orders). To insert a conditional order, Ctrl+Click on the desired trigger price level in the Bid Size or Ask Size columns. Conditional orders are displayed in a grey color with a question mark (?) in front of the volume. •This dialog allows you to turn on or off the hints that show what will happen when you click different cells in the Click Trading window. •You can also configure Ctrl+Click to insert conditional orders on and off, and what order type and price delta should be used for the conditional orders. For instance, Ctrl+Clicking on the Ask level 100 will create a conditional order to sell the symbol when the Last price equals (or is below) than 100. With a price delta of 2, the order price will be 99 (assuming the tick size is 0.50). Note that the conditional orders generated are checking the Last price. •Note that conditional orders show up at the point that they will trigger. In the example above order shows up at 100 - because the conditional order will trigger (become active) when the last price equals 100. At that time, the order will become active, with an order price of 99 (making it very likely that it will match the market). •The Click Trading window now shows graphically an indication of profit or loss - as determined from the difference between your last traded price and the current market price of the symbol. •For instance in this window we can see that we last bought Volv B at price 111.80 (the thin yellow line), and that we have an unrealized loss since then - the market price has gone down to 111.20. The red bar in the middle will rise as the market price goes down. If we’re in a potential gain, the bar goes down and is blue. •It is possible to change the price of an existing order using drag-and-drop. When you do this, a hint will show you the details of the change. •Ctrl+Click will now modify an order.
