Orders Control
From Open Forex Platform Wiki
The orders control allows showing, placing, modifying and closing orders to a given account.
The orders shown in this control are into groups based on the state of the order (Opened, Closed, Pending etc.) and the name of the Account the order is placed to.
At the top you see the toolbar that contains the following buttons:
- Show - filter the type of orders shown
- Compact Mode / Full Mode - switch the control between compact and full mode
- New Order - place new order
- Obtain Orders - send a query to the orders source to retrieve all orders stored in it (for ex. if you are connected to a broker, and it has orders - deliver them); also this allows to control the "Auto Obtain" feature, that auto obtains orders from the source in a fixed time interval
- Modify Order
- Close Order
There is also a context menu that appears when you click an order with the Right Mouse Button allowing to do the same operations as the toolbar for the selected orders.
New Order Dialog
Allows to specify parameters of new order.
The "Market Price" panel will show the current updated market price.
To create a Pending Order click the "Pending Order" check box. It will enable the panel allowing you to specify Opening Price for your pending order "Price" as well as the type "Limit" or "Stop".
When ready click "Buy" or "Sell" button to place the order.
Note when the parameters you have placed in do not allow the placement of a Buy or Sell order, the arrow icon next to the Buy or Sell button will disappear.
Modify Order Dialog
Allows to modify the parameters of already placed order.
Close Order Dialog
Allows to close an existing order.
