Each market index displayed on the top panel will be accompanied by a color-coded arrow.

The green arrow indicates that overall, the stocks contained within that market index are displaying an upward price movement/trend compared to the previous trading day.

The red arrow indicates that overall, the stocks contained within that market index are displaying a downward price movement/trend compared to the previous trading day.

Clicking on a 2D index chart (alongside a market index in the top panel) will open a full-scale chart view of the selected market index (depicted below).

8. Console

Console is comprised of Watchlist, Advanced Order Ticket, Order List and Standard Quote. But it can be configured according to your preference by adding more widgets to the workspace or removing the existing widgets. You can add more widgets to the workspace by clicking the plus button. Similarly, you can remove existing widgets by using the close button located at the top left corner of each widget.

By default, these widgets are linked to each other. Selecting a different symbol on a linked widget will automatically change all the other linked widgets to reflect the changes.
To turn off this feature, right-click on the widget you wish to unlink and select off.
To link the widgets, right-click on the widgets you wish to link and select the same color for all the widgets you wish to be linked. If you select a new symbol in one of the widgets, all the other widgets linked to it will be updated automatically to match that selection.

11. Watchlist

The watchlist selector drop-down is located within the watchlist widget in the console and can be used to view the complete list of symbols in a particular market/ exchange (i.e. DFM, NYSE, etc.) or a user-created watchlist.

Depending on your subscription, the market feed can be a Real-time feed or a Delayed feed (this changes how fast information is updated). A delayed view is indicated by a "D" next to the market name in the market selector drop-down.

Real-time: This refers to live (as it happens) updates from the exchange.

Delayed: The trading events and updates to various fields (such as market time and sales, trades, volume, etc.) are delayed by a predefined interval.

12. Advanced Order Ticket widget

The order ticket serves as the core component through which you can buy / sell stocks using the application.

Clicking on a symbol within the watchlist widget will automatically populate the order ticket widget with the symbol name, price, and other details, enabling you to place a buy or sell-side order with ease.

Selecting an option from the 'Action' drop-down (i.e. buy, sell, sell short, buy to cover), will change the color scheme of the order ticket, and update the relevant fields within it (i.e. Clicking on a symbol already purchased and selecting the 'Sell' action would automatically indicate the existing Holdings or quantity of the stock already available in the user's portfolio).

Advanced Order Ticket provides you with Quick Information Panel, Chart, Advanced and Bracket order options.

13. Order List widget

Using this widget, you can get a list of the orders placed within the day.

14. Standard Quote

A summarized stock profile including Market Depth and Time & Sales of the symbol that is selected will be displayed in this panel.
