One of the advantages of the Webstation is linking panels. When panels are linked, selecting an
instrument in one of the panels synchronizes other panels in the group to display information
relevant to that instrument. For example, if the chart is linked to the market depth panel, when the
chart instrument changes the market depth will change automatically.

panel click on button located on the Webstation toolbar.
14
Account - the account which is used for the order.
Symbol - the available symbol for the trade.
Order type - Market, Limit, Stop, Stop limit, Trailing stop, OCO.
Market order is an order to buy or sell a security at the best available price immediately.
Limit order is placed to buy or sell a security at a specified price or better.
Stop order is placed to buy or sell a security when its price surpasses a particular point, thus
ensuring a greater probability of achieving a predetermined entry or exit price, limiting the
investor's loss or locking in his or her profit.
Stop limit order will be executed at a specified price (or better) after a given stop price has
been reached. Once the stop price is reached, the stop-limit order becomes a limit order to
buy (or sell) at the limit price or better.
OCO is an order stipulating that if one part of the order is executed, then the other part is
automatically cancelled.
"Sell" trailing stop order sets the stop price at a fixed amount below the market price on the
trailing offset. As the market price rises, the stop price rises by the trail amount, but if the
stock price falls, the stop loss price doesn't change, and a market order is submitted when
the stop price is hit. "Buy" trailing stop orders are the mirror image of sell trailing stop
orders.
TIF - Time-in-force options allow traders to be more specific about the time parameters in
which an order is activated. This is especially important for active traders. It can be Day, GTC,
IOC, FOK, GTD, OnOpen, OnClose.
A Day order, as the name implies, is valid for the current trading day.
GTC (Good till cancelled) orders, on the other hand, will remain alive until they are
cancelled.
IOC (Immediate or cancel) requires that all or part of the order be executed immediately
after it has been brought to the market.
FOK (Fill or kill) – requires to execute the entire transaction immediately and completely or
not to execute it at all.
GTD (Good till date) allows input of date until upon which the order will be cancelled if not
executed.
OnClose is a type of limit order to buy or sell shares near the market close if the close price is
better than the limit price.
OnOpen is a type of limit order to buy or sell shares near the market open if the open price is
better than the limit price.
15
Quantity – the amount of lots in which the order is placed.
User is able to set the Stop loss and Take profit directly from the Order entry panel if needed. Also, it
is always possible to manage risks by setting trailing stop on the order with the left clicking on a

7. EVENT LOG
The Event Log panel shows a log of events that occurred during the ProTrader Web session (from
login). To open an Event Log panel, select it from the panel menu.
Entries are logged each time a position or pending order is opened, closed or modified (including SL
and TP). Each log entry indicates the action, instrument traded, type of operation, trade or order
price, amount of trade or order, order # and the time of the event. Entries are also logged whenever
you connect to or disconnect from the server.
There are three different colours for different events:
Green - for confirmed information (answers from server);
Red - for information about margin and refusals;
Grey - for outgoing requests.
