The Order Ticker displays:
- Orders entering the market
- Orders being pulled from the market
- Filled orders
- Order price changes
The innovative design illustrates market aggression, direction, and depth. Depth of market data is also presented to the right of the price scale. Individual order information scrolls across the ticker while borders and arrows reflect the up and down movement of the inside market.
Order Ticker Preferences allow traders to customize order quantity viewed, specify the trade volume viewed, and add time shading to emphasize key information.
