Below is an image of a price ladder with a working limit, stop market and stop limit order for 1 contract each.

All orders are displayed by coloring a cell or group of cells within the price ladder. There is also an associated size marker which displays the remaining contracts to be filled for the order(s) at the corresponding price. The color of the size marker indicates the current order(s) sate.

Consolidated Order Display
The SuperDOM will consolidate the display of all orders resting at the same price and mark an "s" within the size marker display to indicate that there are multiple orders stacked at that price. The size marker then indicates the cumulative remaining contracts for all orders resting at that price. The image below depicts a consolidated display of two limit orders for 1 contract each.
By moving your mouse cursor over the order (cyan colored cell) and pressing down on your right mouse button, you will see a context menu listing all individual orders consolidated at the corresponding price and any relevant actions that you can perform on those orders.

Orders submitted as stop loss and profit target orders are uniquely displayed by coloring all three cells in the price row where the order(s) are working. This makes it very easy to visualize your stop and profit objectives relative to the current market. All other orders are displayed by coloring a single cell in either the "BUY" or "SELL" column.
Below is an image of a stop loss and profit target pair, notice that the size marker colors on the right side reflect the current state of the orders and that they are sell orders since they are displayed on the sell side of the price ladder. Also note the brown colored cell at price level 1243.75, this represents the average entry price for the open position.
