Modifying Price of Entry and Exit Orders

Click and drop approach is used to modify the price of an order. This approach is more effective than drag and drop since it eliminates the potential errors made by accidentally letting go of your mouse button and dropping an order on the wrong price.

1. Click using your left mouse button on the order you wish to modify

2. Once selected, you will see the cursor change to a hand from an arrow, then choose the price you are modifying the order to and click using your left mouse button to complete the modify process

The left mouse button is used to modify the price of limit, stop market and stop limit orders. You can cancel out of a price modification (remove the hand cursor) by pressing the ESC key.

Modifying Price of Stop Loss and Profit Target Orders

2. Once selected, you will see the cursor change to a hand from an arrow, then choose the price you are modifying the order to and click using your left mouse button to complete the modify process

*If there are multiple orders consolidated at a price level, modifying the price will modify all orders at that price level.

Single Click Modification of Stop Loss and Profit Target Orders

You have the option of enabling single click modification for stop loss and profit target orders via the SuperDOM Properties dialog window accessible by right mouse click context menu. This is an advanced feature that can provide you with a clear advantage of efficiently modifying orders in fast moving markets. If you are a scalper then this option is for you.

Once enabled, to modify stop loss and profit target orders click in the center "PRICE" column. Clicking in the "PRICE" column on the BID or above when long will adjust your profit target order prices, below the BID will adjust stop loss order prices. Clicking in the price column on the ASK or below when short will adjust your profit target order prices, above the ASK will adjust your stop loss order prices.

Left Mouse Click - Modifies the closest stop loss or profit target order

Middle Mouse Click - Modifies the second closest stop loss or profit target order

Middle Mouse Click + CTRL Key - Modifies the third closest stop loss or profit target order

* If you have more than one active strategy working in the market, single click modification will be applied to the stops and targets associated to the selected strategy as indicated in the strategy control list (drop down list) in the lower portion of the SuperDOM window.

NOTE: Do not forget, this advanced mode DOES NOT provide single click access to working orders (Entry/Exit) that reside in either the BUY/SELL columns.
