A recorded walkthrough of selecting Limit, changing quantity and opening exit controls in the paper order ticket. No order is submitted.
Walkthrough transcript
- Start with the paper order ticket. The selected instrument is XOS.
- Select Limit to expose the limit-order price controls.
- Choose 250 shares and review the changed order summary.
- Open Add exits to inspect exit configuration. Review the draft before submitting; this recording stops before placement.
01
Review the draft before submitting
Price, quantity, duration and exits belong to one order draft. Market, limit and stop controls let a user express the intended execution. Preview and validation depend on the broker integration; the available controls follow its declared capabilities.
02
Connect the ticket to the rest of the workspace
The chart, ticket and Account Manager can share one trading controller. Once the broker publishes an order or position update, the connected surfaces display that authoritative state. An accepted submission is separate from a fill.
03
Build for the markets your broker supports
Resolve the instrument through the market-data integration and carry its identity into the ticket. Quantity steps, price increments, supported durations and exit rules come from the broker. Options and prediction markets have separate tickets for their contract and outcome structures.
