The Trading Board (TM) looks like a chess board, hence the name, where orders are placed like chess pieces. You can move orders around the board. Only vertical move results in price change on an order. Each trade consisting of entry, target and stop is linked with colored circle. You can move an entire trade together horizontally by dragging the little dark blue square in each order. A click on the x cancels an order.

The Price Column provides market depth when it is available and Buy/Sell volumes at each price level; otherwise, it shows the best bid and ask.

To open a trade, locate the price level, then click on the Sell button (visible when you move mouse at left side of the Price Column) or the Buy button (visible when you move mouse at the right side of the Price Column). Each Trade is represented in blocks in the Trading Board, which mirrors the Price Column in all price levels. Each price level in the Price Column represents a possible entry point that you can click at.

For example, as seen from this screenshot, we are trading the strategy ES Lmt 2/1, where 2/1 means 2 tick target and 1 tick stop with reward/risk ratio of 2/1. We decide to sell at 1179.50, so we click on the Sell at 1179.50 level on the right side of the Price Column. The program immediately sends a set of bracket orders with an entry order shown as SL1 at 1179.50, a closing target at 1179 shown as BL1, and stop loss at 1179.75 shown as Bs1. Each order's status is shown in color where green indicates working order, maroon indicates bracket orders that are inactive until the linked entry order is filled.

The specific order entry setup is defined by strategy. You can set up a set of strategies to accommodate your own unique trading style and market opportunites.
