Chart Trader is a platform panel that can appear beside a chart and presents order-related controls in that chart's context. For learning, first identify the controls and their displayed states.
Key concepts
- Order
- An instruction submitted through the platform. Lines and status text on a chart can show the state associated with an order.
- Quantity
- The contract count shown in the interface. Its relationship to planned risk is important to understand.
