By default the most common columns are visible in a new Order Book. Many more columns are available and can be added in the Order Book 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. |
|
| 5 | 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. |
|
| 6 | Limit Price | The limit price of the order. If the order is a market order then limit price will be zero. |
|
| 7 | 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. |
|

Complete Volume - The order will either be completely filled immediately following submission or it will be cancelled by the exchange.
