General view of Order Entry sidebar settings

• Show Order Entry setting shows/hides the Order Entry sidebar.

• Slim mode allows you to narrow the size of the Order Entry sidebar for a more compact view.

• No labels setting hides the labels above each block in the panel for a more compact view.

• Show additional order parameters. The setting is responsible for displaying extra order parameters that a trader can use if needed. The types of parameters can vary for each type of connection:

  - CQG includes an additional "Algorithmic" order parameter

  - Binance Futures has several additional parameters (Behavior for orders in different hedge modes, Post-only mode, Trigger price)

Additional order parameters for different connections

• Reset quantity to default after an order was placed. The setting returns the order size to a previously saved size after each trade. For example, you set the default order size to 2 lots. After that, you increased the size to 3 lots for the current trade. Once the order with this size (3 lots) is placed, the platform will automatically revert the value to the previously saved size, i.e., 2 lots.

Note: This setting only works if you have set a default order size value.

Reset quantity to default value after the trade

• Quick quantity buttons. In the text block, you can modify existing trading buttons for quick switching between different order sizes. To add new buttons, simply enter new values using the separator “;”.

Tip #1 You can add mathematical signs before the values to quickly increase, decrease, or reset the current value in the Quantity field.

Tip #2

To create multiple rows of Quick quantity buttons, you need to move the value to a new line in the text block.

Editing of Quick quantity buttons
