Staged order ticket — bracket / OCO / TWAP / VWAP.
“The order ticket is where you set a symbol, side, size, type and price before sending an order to the broker.”
Staged order ticket — bracket / OCO / TWAP / VWAP.
Top of the ticket: symbol auto-fills from workspace context (or click-load from any panel). Side: BUY / SELL / SHORT / COVER. Size in shares or contracts. Order type: MARKET / LIMIT / STOP / STOP-LIMIT / TRAILING-STOP.
Below the main ticket: optional bracket = parent order + linked stop + linked target. OCO = one-cancels-other (cancel the other when one fills). Build risk discipline INTO the ticket; don't rely on memory after entry.
For larger orders, the algo selector slices the parent into child orders over time. TWAP = linear time-weighted; VWAP = volume-curve-weighted; IS = implementation shortfall; POV = participation-of-volume. Each minimises a different cost.
Bottom strip: LIVE_TRADING_ARMED status. Defaults OFF — clicks fire in SIM mode against the internal matching engine. Flip to LIVE only when you've confirmed broker connectivity + sized the trade correctly. Sim-first = safety-first.
