Select the trading context
Select the account and full contract before using the ladder. Review quantity, order type and time in force. Trading must be unlocked and the feed and order channel must be healthy. Demo previews do not send orders.
Working orders and position levels
Working orders are drawn at their resting price. Position entry and P&L levels depend on the selected account, position direction, quantity and contract value. They are separate from book liquidity and traded volume.
Modify or cancel
Supported working-order lines on the chart can be dragged to request a price amendment; their X requests cancellation. On the DOM, right-click a working order for cancellation. Wait for the provider acknowledgement and resulting status. A requested change is not confirmation of acceptance.
