New position and order indicators in charts
We have recently released a number of improvements to the position and order indicators in the charts.
Positions, orders and order/position price lines can be shown or hidden in the chart settings
Position indicators
Open positions are shown as:
- A triangle on the chart at the price and time the position was opened
- An indicator on the left side of the chart showing the size of position
These are coloured blue for long position red for short positions.
Hovering over the indicator on the left:
- The triangle is highlighted
- A horizontal line appears to better show the price at which the position was opened
- A tool tip with detailed info about the position is shown
You can close the position by clicking on the X. That opens a prepopulated trade ticket.
- The order indicators are outlines and are coloured blue for buy orders and red for short orders
- Hovering over the indicator shows a tool tip with the order details and a horizontal line showing the price
- The indicator also shows the order type LMT(Limit) or STP (Stop)
