Depth Of Market Pop-up Menu

If one of your Depth Of Market frames has the focus, you will find, on the main menu bar, a menu named Depth Of Market; clicking on it will reveal a drop-down box with a selection of menus - operations and options that concern this particular frame.

You can access the same operations and options from the Depth Of Market Toolbar as well as from the popup menu that is invoked if you right-click outside of the Depth Of Market table and select Depth Of Market again (take a look at the image on the right).

At the bottom of the main Depth Of Market pop-up menu (caption on the right side), there is a selection of menus that allow quick access to significant actions that concern existing or new Workspaces and Frames.

Clicking on Order Entry, Bid/Ask Size, Cumulative Bid/Ask, Price and Offset P/L will trigger Order Entry-related actions (for details read the Order Entry section).

The remainder of the actions available throughout the whole menu / menu-item hierarchy will be discussed in the following.

By clicking on the Contingency option you can place contingent orders. In order to read more about them, please click here.

When enabled, use the Place Buy/Sell Order options to place either a Buy or a Sell order at the price corresponding to the current row.

When enabled (meaning you right-clicked on an order in the table), you can next click on the Show Details option to open up a small dialog with extended information about all your current orders and positions at that specific price.

Select the Add Alarm option to create a new alarm from Depth Of Market. If you already defined an alarm for the selected contract, you can change or delete it by selecting Alarms, choosing the alarm you need to modify and finally clicking the Edit/Delete Alarm menu item. In order to read more about Alarms, please click here.

The same menu will contain 3 more items if one right-clicks an order from the Order Entry column. These can be used to Cancel, Cancel / Replace or Cancel / Replace to the Market the order the user right-clicked on.








Right-clicking anywhere in one of the Hi / Lo / Chg / Pos / Avg / OPL / TPL fields (assumingly enabled), will trigger a different pop-up menu, containing a list of all current fills and positions.

For each of those, you can trigger another pop-up menu in order to handle them:

Offset - offset your current fill/position.

Reverse - reverse your current fill/position.

Mark Fill as Reported - request the current fill to be set to the Reported status at the exchange (only available for fills).

Add to Position - allows you to place an additional order for the same contract as the current fill/position.

Net Summary - displays a small dialog with information about the current fill/position, specifying if it is long or short and the total quantity.

Finally, the Contingency entry is functionally identical with the one mentioned above. Click here to read more about contingencies.
