Understand the Blotter Interface
Instructions
Traders use the Blotter window to receive and create tickets, and to create and manage orders.
The Blotter comprises these main sections:
-
The Manual Ticket Entry/Rapid Ticket Entry panel, used to manually create new tickets.
-
The Tickets panel which displays manually created and electronic tickets, and the ongoing order status.
-
The Orders panel, used to modify and submit client orders.
-
The Trades panel, which displays summary and drill-down execution reports.
Electronic tickets via FIX are accepted via a pop-up notification box, and other tickets can be entered manually by the trader using the Manual Ticket Entry panel. Once an order is accepted or added, you can manage all aspects of your clients’ orders from this single Blotter window.
