Button to enable trading with a mouse

The button enables trading from a chart using a mouse. You can set a hot key that will enable trading with a mouse if you hold it down.

There are two modes of placing orders using a mouse:

  • Auto detection

  • Left mouse button (LMB) — buy, right mouse button (RMB) — sell

You can select the desired mode for placing orders in the settings of the chart hot keys.

Auto detection

In this mode, the LMB places a limit order, and the RMB places a stop order. The direction of the order is determined automatically based on the position of the cursor on the chart.

LMB — buy, RMB — sell

In this mode, the LMB places a buy order, and the RMB places a sell order. The order type (limit or stop order) is determined automatically based on the position of the cursor on the chart.

To place a trigger order, hold down the key Ctrl. In this mode, the LMB places a limit trigger order, and the RMB places a stop order for a trigger order. The direction of the order (buy or sell) is determined automatically based on the position of the cursor on the chart.

Order markers

Placed orders are displayed on the charts as markers, where the number is the volume of the order, and the inscription is the type of the placed order. To cancel the order, click on the cross.

Order markers can be configured by going to Chart settings → Trading.
