This study offers an easy technique to compare trading decisions with subsequent market
action by marking executed trades on the price chart. This study is a good companion to use
with the SnapTrader order routing interface and the Order Book.
The study places symbols on a chart for any executed orders and plots horizontal lines for any
working orders. The executed trade symbols are placed on the intraday bar the trade occurred
during and at the price of the fill.
The plot for indicating a working order is a horizontal line. The line’s starting point is the time
the order was placed. The line displays the size of the working order. The working order can be
canceled by right clicking on the horizontal line and choosing cancel order from the menu.
Rolling the mouse over the order display symbol on the chart opens a tooltip window detailing
the date, time, bought or sold, and size of the filled order. The working order tooltip includes
the same information and the type of working order.
Charts of synthetically traded spreads will display executed trade symbols and working orders
on both the chart of the spread and the charts for the outright contracts. Charts of exchange
traded spreads will only display the symbols on the chart for the exchange traded spread, not
the outright legs.
If the Drag to Modify parameter is turned on, you are able to modify the working order price
from the chart. A working order is displayed on the chart with its quantity. In this example, the
working order quantity is 5:
If the Group strategy positions by filled spread orders check box is selected (Strategy
Order preferences), then this study shows fills of spreads also.
