Live Market Orders
The Live Market Orders Control offers a grid where traders can view and modify active orders swiftly. The grid was designed to provide a minimal overview of active orders where users can quickly modify orders using the keyboard.
How to access
To open a new Live Market Orders view you select the "Live Market Orders" button under the "Trading" drop down.

Modifiable fields
The price and quantity fields can be modified using the keyboard. Modifying a field will change the background color to grey until the changes are sent or the field is reset. Hovering over a modified field will display the field's original value.
Sending changes
A modified order will only be sent to the market if the modifications will change the market order. If there are no changes to the order, the “Send Changes” button is disabled. If there are changes to the order the button is enabled and the background color is green. Using the “Send All Modified” toolbar button will send all modified orders to the market. Using the “Send Selected” toolbar button will send the changes to the selected order to the market if the order has been modified in the grid. It is also possible to send the changes by right clicking on the order and selecting “Send changes” from there or by pressing Ctrl+Enter when the order is selected.
Clearing changes
It is possible to clear modifications to an order if the modifications have not been sent to the market. Using the “Clear All Modifications” button in the toolbar, all modifications to all orders in the grid will be reset to their original values. Using the “Clear Selected” button in the toolbar the modifications to the selected order will be cleared to their original values. It is also possible to clear the changes by right clicking on an order and selecting “Clear changes” from there.
Displaying and filtering orders
The grid only displays open orders on the market. If an order is completed after the window is opened, the “Send” button becomes red and disabled and the order is removed from the grid 5 minutes after closing to ensure that the order doesn’t disappear without the users knowledge.
It is possible to filter the orders to only include orders from the user by selecting “Me” under Trader in the toolbar.
It is also possible to filter and sort the orders using the headers above the orders in the same manner as the Market Orders List view.
