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
- Market The market for the order.
- Account Name of the account for the order.
- Buy/Sell Whether or not the order is a buy or a sell.
- Volume The size of the order.
- Price Type The type of order being submitted:
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.
Hit- Hit is for hitting the Bid or Offer.
Join- Join is for joining the best bid/offer.
RFQ- Will send a request for quote to the exchange.
- Limit Price The limit price of the order. If the order is a market order then limit price will be zero.
- Stop Price 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.
