Placing Orders

Orders are placed through the Order Ticket panel. The ticket adapts based on your trading style and the instrument type.

Equity orders

1. Select an instrument via the Symbol Search or market ladder.
2. Choose BUY or SELL.
3. Enter a Quantity (shares) and Limit Price.
4. Select a Strategy (LIMIT, TWAP, VWAP, POV, ICEBERG, SNIPER, ARRIVAL_PRICE).
5. Click Place Order.

Available strategies depend on your trading style. High-touch traders have access to LIMIT and basic algo strategies. Low-touch and algo traders have the full range, including ICEBERG, SNIPER, and ARRIVAL_PRICE.

Strategy parameters

Each algo strategy exposes additional parameters:

Strategy	Parameters
LIMIT	Limit price only
TWAP	Number of slices, participation cap
POV	Participation rate, min/max slice size
VWAP	Historical volume curve window
ICEBERG	Visible quantity per slice
SNIPER	Aggression threshold
ARRIVAL_PRICE	Slippage tolerance (bps)

Risk limit warnings

The ticket validates your order against your personal trading limits in real time:

• Quantity limit: amber warning if quantity exceeds your max order size.
• Notional limit: amber warning if price multiplied by quantity exceeds your daily notional cap.

Orders that exceed limits show a warning, and the submit button is disabled.
