By default the most common columns are visible in the Order Ticket. Many more columns are available and can be added in the Order Ticket Properties, Columns tab.
Default Columns¶
|
| 1 | Market - The market for the order. |
|
| 2 | Account - Name of the account for the order. |
|
| 3 | Buy/Sell - Whether or not the order is a buy or a sell. |
|
| 4 | Volume - The size of the order. |
|
| Price Type - The type of order being submitted: |
| 5 nowrap | Price Type | Limit - The order must be filled at the designated price or better.
Market - The order will fill at the best market price available.
Pit - Pit trades are for bookkeeping purposes only. If you trade in the pit and electronically you can book your pit trades through the front-end. They are reflected in P&L but aren't submitted to an exchange.
Stop Limit - A stop order can have a limit price so that when it is triggered it is submitted as a limit order.
Stop Market - If a stop order doesn't have a limit price associated with it then it will be submitted as a market order when triggered.
Stop Same Limit - A stop limit order where the stop trigger price and stop limit price are the same.
Market If Touched - Behaves like a limit order with the exception that when it trades it turns into a market order. This means that some of the fills can be at a worse price then what was entered. |
|
| 6 | The limit price of the order. If the order is a market order then limit price will be zero. |
|
| 7 | The trigger price of a stop order. A stop order becomes a market or limit order when the market trades through the stop trigger price. |
