Order Entry in Options Chain

You can buy or sell from this module. To do that you must configure the Order Entry from Order Entry Properties. First, assure that you are connected to an order entry provider. Then go to "Customize Order Type When Clicking on Last or Bid/Ask" section and select the order type for Last column (Limit or Market). Go to the next section "Customize Other Order Entry Actions and Properties", for "When Placing an Order" property you can select one of the following:

- "Enter the order immediately" - the order will be placed without showing a confirmation dialog.

- "Preview the order" (recommended) - will open a preview dialog from where you can change one or other and then submit or cancel. From here you can switch to Order Ticket if you want to change some fields that are not editable in preview.

- "Show the Order Ticket" - will open the Order Ticket from where you can change all the fields for the new order.

Next, you must select one of the following:

- "Place order by single-clicking" - single click on a "Last", "Bid" or "Ask" price will enter the order immediately, preview the order or show the Order Ticket depends on the "When Placing an Order" property.

- "Place order by double-clicking" - double click on a "Last", "Bid" or "Ask" price will enter the order immediately, preview the order or show the Order Ticket depends on the "When Placing an Order" property.

- If nothing is selected (single-click or double click), you cannot place an order from this module.

At the end you can choose to use the most recent quantity when placing the order or (if you disable this property) you can choose a default quantity for "Last" and "Bid / Ask".

To place orders in this module you can use "one click trading" or from the "Monetary value" dialog by clicking on the "Buy" or "Sell" buttons.
