Orders

All your resting limit orders and TP/SL rules in one list. Edit, move and cancel them in bulk.

Orders lists every resting limit order and active take-profit or stop-loss rule you have, across all markets. It's where you reprice, move a whole ladder at once, or cancel what you no longer want. It needs no market, but in a colour group it can narrow down to that colour's event or market.

What you see

  5. 5
    Filled: how much has traded

Rows are grouped by event. Shares is what's still resting, Filled is how much of the original size has traded, and Exp says GTC or the time left.

TP and SL rows are your Auto-Exit rules from the Betslip; they show whether they're waiting or executing.

Using it

Cancelling

The ✕ on a row cancels that order straight away. Cancel · N in the toolbar cancels everything the list shows (or only the orders you've picked), and the same button on an event header cancels that event's orders. Both of those ask for a second click first.

Editing one order

Click a row's Shares or Lmt. Price to change it: step it or type a new value, then press Enter. The order keeps its expiry.

An edit or a move cancels the order and places a new one, so it goes to the back of the queue. If the new order is rejected, nothing is left at the old price. The widget tells you, and after a group move it offers Re-place.

Moving many orders at once

Tick the box on each order you want, or ⌘/Shift-click rows. Alt-click a side, outcome or market to pick every order like it in that event. A bar opens at the bottom: press ↑ ↓ (hold Shift for 5 steps) or type how far to move, check the struck-through old prices against the new ones, and press Move.

  4. 4
    Move sends it

The bar can also send each ladder's top order To market, widen or narrow the gaps between levels, and Mirror a move across the two outcomes of a market. A move that would fill at once against the book asks for a second click, and Undo appears for a short while after.

With other widgets

  • In a colour, the Event and Market tabs follow that colour's market, so the list narrows as you switch markets elsewhere.
  • Orders you place in the Betslip, Orderbook, Ladder or Chart show up here.

Tips

  • Quoting a ladder of bids? Pick them all with BUY in the toolbar, then shift the whole ladder a tick or two with ↑ ↓ and Enter as the market moves.
  • Turn on Distance to fill in settings to see how far each order is from trading. Anything in amber is 5¢ or more away.

Extras

Finding orders

The tabs switch between All Markets and, in a colour, that colour's Event or Market. The type menu shows All types, LMT or TP/SL. Search from the Outcome header matches any side, outcome, market or event, and column headers sort. On a narrow widget the rows become cards and search and sort move to the toolbar.

Columns

Side and Outcome always lead. Shares, Filled, Lmt. Price, Cur. (the live price), Amount and Exp can be hidden and reordered from the columns button or the settings.
