The order ticket

The trade page carries the venue-standard triptych: chart to read, order book to time, ticket to act.

Two chips at the top. Cross shares your whole account balance as collateral across positions — capital-efficient, but one bad position can drag the rest down. Isolated walls off a fixed amount per position, so a liquidation only burns what you assigned to it.

The leverage chip opens a slider. Both settings apply to the market, not to a single order.

Type a dollar amount, a base amount, or a risk amount — the selector inside the field switches units. The percentage slider and the size field are two views of one number: type a size and the slider tracks it, drag the slider and the size fills in. Notches sit at 0/25/50/75/100% of your buying power.

Market and Limit are the two tabs. Pro ▾ holds the trigger orders — Stop Market and Take Profit Market — which are reduce-only and sized as a percentage of your live position. A stop that could flip your direction is not a stop, so the buy/sell segments deliberately do not apply to them.

For limit orders, Mid fills in the current mid price, and TIF chooses between GTC (rest until cancelled) and ALO (add-liquidity-only, refuses to cross the spread).

Tick the checkbox and enter either or both prices. They are placed automatically after the opening order fills — not before, because a protective order against a position that does not exist yet is refused by the venue, correctly. If either fails to place, the ticket says so loudly: a position that exists without the protection you asked for is the one state you did not want.

Liquidation price, order value, margin required and max slippage. Before you have a priced order these show dashes rather than estimates — nothing here is computed client-side, because the card is the promise and this is only its shadow.
