Placing Your First Order

Placing an order — coming soon

Once you have found a contract you want to trade, placing an order takes just a few steps — from the contract view to a confirmed execution.

Placing an order, step by step

  1. Start in the Markets view and locate the contract you want.
  2. Click the buy or sell button on the contract to bring up the Order Entry panel.
  3. Choose your action and select your Time in Force: DAY, GTC, IOC, FOK, or GTD.
  4. Set your price and quantity.
  5. Optionally, use the ToB selection to place your order at the best available bid or offer on the book — this only works if there is existing order book liquidity.
  6. When you are ready, click Submit.
  7. Your order appears in the Open Orders queue immediately.
  8. If it matches against a resting order, the execution is reflected in your Executions and Positions tabs.
Note

When your order is submitted, your collateral is allocated and any fills are tracked in real time.

See Order Types & Time in Force for the full set of options.
