Find: Order limit market filled trades window price status current simulator.

You will notice that there is no button for Limit orders. In the real market a limit order will not necessarily be filled even if the market trades at the limit order price, but in the simulator it always will be filled if the market trades at the limit order price. Imagine that the market is currently trading at 5680 and you place a limit order to buy 5665 (or better). The market then falls to 5665, and it trades just 2 contracts at 5665 and then moves higher. In the real market you would probably not have been filled as only two contracts traded, but the simulator will assume that you have been filled. An MIT order is similar to a limit order, except that when the specified price trades your order becomes a market order, so you will definitely be filled at the best available price when the order is triggered. So I have omitted the Limit order, as the simulator is unable to accurately reflect the outcome of limit orders. In practice, though, an MIT has the same effect as a limit order. 84 All orders are placed in the active order window until they are executed (filled) at which time they are moved to the filled order window. Any order in the active order window can be cancelled by right clicking on the order and selecting cancel, followed by OK. Current status On the bottom right of the screen you will see the current status and history window. Again click on the current status and history tabs to toggle between the two windows.
