    this is how i do it ....
    1. first take all tickrt confirms ie (safeties off)

    2. add but make it a dual line view

    3. hit bid or ask depending which way you want to go

    simple

    p.s. for a market order hit the volume for a limit hit the price



    hope it helps

    You can also use the dome, check in the flatten box and select the price.

    There is nothing special required to "short" with JTrader - just sell when you want to short, and buy when you want to cover.

    Thanks to all,u´re right.I wondering how easy this soft.is,and the DOME is excellent!:D :cool:
     
  6. Any way to do stop limit orders off DOME? Jtrader is PIA sometimes having to have multiple windows open.
     
  7. What is this dome thingy? I use J-trader and never noticed it. I don't like all the multiple windows either.

    Dome is an easy and fast(er) orde entry system within J-Trader
    You can bring it up like this (If I remember well, I don't use J-Trader now)

    On your quote page, select the instrument you want to trade.
    On the bottom of the screen there's a button, "DOME"
    If you press this, there's a new window popping up which is the Dome order entry.

    You can enter orders by clicking on the price ladder. Buy orders are entered on the blue side / sell on the red.
    You can enter orders by clicking on the price you see on the price ladder.

    Hope this helps

    A stop limit cannot be placed on the DOME(Depth of Market Executor). A stop can be placed on the DOME but it will be hidden and held at your PC.
