Live Markets

This panel appears at the top of the app, and collates all markets currently accessible (open for trading, and applicable) for the logged in user.

Each market can be collapsed or expanded to show current trades and orders. Only products with current trades or orders will populate on this screen.

It can be combined with any other screen. Drag each panel to resize it.

This will not be saved between sessions.

All available products are listed on the Trades grid.

The grid is sorted by status: Approved, Rejected, Blank - Time: Earliest > Latest

Trades can be exported by clicking on Export button.



Making a trade

To make a trade, click the line item of the product you wish to trade, and complete the dialog box. Up to 3 bids appear on the grid on each product on each side (buy/ sell). Additional bids will appear in a separate order stacker.

A ‘Trade notification’ pops up when you have made a trade. These can be disabled within the settings. Use the 'x' button to close the popup; if you don’t close them, the notifications appear in a list.
