Creating & Managing your orders

Introduction

This page describes all the ways you can Create, View, Update and Cancel your orders on the TOD Markets Web User Interface (UI). For details about how to create orders by the API, visit the API Documentation.

Creating an order

Opening the Order Creation Window

You can find the ‘trade’ button on asset rows in the market view, and next to the asset code when viewing the asset description.

Open

Open

You can also open the Create Order window by clicking the asset code within the Activity Feed view.

Open

Clicking the trade button will open the ‘Create Order’ view in a new small window.

Open

The Create Order View

Create Order View

Open

Global price toggle

This will toggle prices between global best and GNL best. Any change you make here will also synchronise across to any other windows that are open on your computer, allowing you to make the toggle once and see the change update on your other views.

Asset Full Name

Provides an accurate description of the asset you are considering.

Asset Price information

The same price row as that shown on the market view. This row is automatically updated when trade and order activity happens on the given Asset. If a price belongs to your company, then it is blue.

Order Form

We’ll go into detail on the order form and process in the next section.

Active Orders (Your Company’s orders)

This shows a list of all of your open, held and filled orders for this asset (for the same day). This section allows you to make edits to these existing orders. More on that in a later section.

Market Depth (Global order depth)

This table gives you relatively detailed information about the orders in the market without revealing the owner of those orders.

• Your orders are highlighted in blue

• good name orders are white

• bad name orders are darkened

Order Form

Selecting ‘Buy’ or ‘Sell’ in the radio group will open the order form on this view.

Open

Clicking buy or sell opens the order form

Form inputs

Form defaults

When the form opens there are some sensible defaults applied:

• Quantity is 5

• your carat will automatically jump into the price field, which is empty by default.

• Persistent order is false

• The order is Open

Form Validation

• you cannot have a quantity less than 1

• you can have any price, including negative numbers.

• The ‘Buy’ or ‘Sell’ buttons will only appear once a price has been input.

• The ‘Buy’ button is blue and the ‘Sell’ button is red, making your action clear.

• a plain text summary of your order appears beneath the form inputs, providing something to check that you have entered the correct details.

• A warning will show if your price is outside of 15%

Open

Form Submission (Order Creation)

Clicking the ‘Sell’ button will bring up a confirmation modal.

Open

Any warnings will show on this view, too. Allowing you to read and self-validate your action before you submit the order.

Pressing the blue ‘Buy’ or red ‘Sell’ button will submit the order.

A shortcut to Give or Take a price on screen

You can click the price in the Asset price row and the form will automatically match the price and quantity with an opposing order type.

So if there is an offer on the screen to sell 10 at $100, then if you click the price it will automatically prefill the order form to buy 10 at $100. Allowing you to quickly give or take offers you see on the screen. See this video for an example: Clicking a price to prefill the order form.

Open

Open

Here you have the option to open and hold orders, but you can also bulk persist and unpersist the orders, too.

Quickly removing all your orders

To quickly remove all your pricing, simply bulk-hold your orders. Holding an order will render it invisible to the market, allowing you time to edit or cancel the order without concern of having your order match.

Your historical orders

To view all of your company orders, including those that are filled & cancelled on specific assets or within specific timeframes, use the Orders index.

Open

The default ‘When’ property is always ‘today’ but you have multiple options to work with. it’s possible to apply very specific filters and then bookmark these filters in your browser.
