ORDER ENTRY SCREEN

This screen facilitates order entry, order cancellation, order modification and quote retrieval.

Data Display
The display grid shows all working orders, cancels, modifications (cancel/ replaces) and fills. The “Working Only” toggle button allows switching between “Show All” view mode and “Show Working Only” view mode. The “Show All” mode displays all account activity, including working orders, cancels, modifications and fills. The “Show Working Only” view mode will show only the unfilled working orders for the account.

Most of the field definitions in the display grid are self-explanatory. Those requiring explanation include:

• Status (STATUS): Indicates whether the order is working (WKNG), cancelled (CXL) or modified (CXLR). Canceled orders that have been “confirmed out” are denoted by (CXL OUT). Filled orders are denoted by “filled.”

• Cancel Number (CXL): Order number of the cancel order.

Note that partially filled orders result in a partially working order as well as a partial fill. For example, consider a 5-contract order that has 1 contract reported as filled. This results in the order quantity displayed as “wkng 4 of 5” with a status of “WKNG.” The 1-contract fill would simply be displayed as a fill with a quantity of 1.

Order Creation and Placement
Create an order using the pull-down and text boxes located at the top of screen. Once there is enough information entered to satisfy the requirements for a valid order, click the “Submit” button at the bottom of the form. This action will display the Order Verification screen, which displays the order information provided on the Order Entry screen. At this time, you can “proofread” the order information prior to order submittal. Once satisfied with the order information, click the “Transmit” button to submit the order.
