Chart Click to Order

Click to Order transforms your chart into an order-entry interface. Instead of typing in a price, you visually select the level on the chart and click. A limit order is placed at that price using the currently selected side (Buy or Sell).

1. 1
   Enable Click to Order

   Toggle it on via the pointer icon in the Quick Trade bar or from Quick Trade Settings.
2. 2
   Select side

   Use the B/S toggle (panel or Y-axis) to choose Buy or Sell.
3. 3
   Click the chart

   Click any price level on the chart. A limit order is placed at that price.
4. 4
   Review the line

   A dashed order line appears showing the pending/placed order. Drag to adjust.

When you click the chart, the system determines the order parameters using the following resolution logic:

• Price detection — the Y-coordinate of your click is mapped to the chart's price scale. The pixel-to-price conversion accounts for the visible range, axis scaling (linear or log), and any margins.
• Side resolution — the side (Buy/Sell) is determined by the active B/S toggle. If the toggle is set to Buy, clicking above the current price places a buy limit; clicking below places a buy limit as well, since side is independent of click location.
• Order construction — the limit order uses the detected price, the quantity from the Quick Trade bar, and the current order mode (limit by default). Market orders are not available via Click to Order — this feature creates limit orders only.
• Order submission — the order is submitted through the exchange API. If Trade Without Confirmation is enabled, the order goes through immediately. Otherwise, a confirmation dialog appears with the detected price and quantity for review.
• Visual feedback — a dashed order line appears on the chart at the placed price level. The line colour matches the side (green for buy, red for sell). A small label shows the order type and quantity.

Accurate order placement requires understanding how the chart maps clicks to prices. Use these techniques to improve precision:

• Zoom in — a narrower visible price range gives each pixel a smaller price increment, making precise level selection easier. Zoom into the area around your target price before clicking.
• Snap to levels — if the chart supports snap-to-grid or snap-to-levels, enable it in chart settings. Your click will snap to the nearest horizontal line, trendline, or Fibonacci level.
• Support and resistance — zoom into key S/R zones before placing orders. The visual feedback (dashed order line) helps confirm you hit the intended level before the order is sent.
• Use the hover preview — enable "Show Quick Order Line" to see a preview line that follows your cursor. This line shows exactly where the order will be placed before you click, eliminating guesswork.
• Watch the price axis — keep an eye on the Y-axis labels while hovering. The preview price updates in real time and is displayed next to the cursor or in the Quick Trade bar.

The B/S Toggle Location setting determines where you select Buy or Sell before clicking the chart. Both options work with Click to Order:

• Quick Trade Panel — the B/S toggle sits in the Quick Trade bar at the top of the chart. This keeps all order controls grouped together, which is convenient when you frequently adjust quantity or order mode between clicks.
• Chart Y-Axis — the B/S toggle appears as an overlay near the price axis. This keeps the Quick Trade bar uncluttered and places the side selector closer to where your eyes track price levels. Preferred by traders who focus on the price scale.
• No wrong choice — both placements function identically. Choose based on whether you prefer grouped controls (Panel) or a cleaner chart area with side selection near the axis (Y-Axis).

After placing an order via Click to Order, a dashed order line appears on the chart. This line is interactive:

• Drag to adjust — click and drag the order line vertically to modify the order price. The order is amended on the exchange as you drag (or after releasing, depending on your exchange).
• Cancel via line — some implementations allow right-clicking the order line to cancel the order directly from the chart without opening the order management panel.
• Visual status — the line style changes based on order status: solid for filled, dashed for pending, and it disappears when cancelled or expired.
• Multiple orders — each placed order gets its own line at the corresponding price level. Lines do not overlap and are spaced vertically if orders share the same price.

• Click to Order not responding — ensure the feature is enabled in Quick Trade Settings. Verify that the chart area has focus (click anywhere on the chart first). Check that no other chart drawing tool is active (e.g. crosshair, drawing tools) that might intercept clicks.
• Wrong price detected — zoom in for better resolution. The price detection accuracy depends on the visible range. If the chart is zoomed out too far, a single pixel represents a large price increment, making precise placement difficult.
• Order not appearing — confirm the order was submitted (check open orders panel). The order line may be outside the visible range — scroll or zoom out. Ensure your exchange connection is active.
• Side keeps resetting — the B/S toggle may reset to the default side after each trade. Check if your platform has an "auto-reset side" option in Quick Trade settings.
