A new order entry program is being developed. It uses the popular DOM (Depth of Market) grids as the main GUI to visualize the whole order entry and management process, speed the process up and reduce occurence of entry errors. Most of operations will be done with a single mouse click. The first release will support bracket orders. More sophisticated position management techniques such as scale in/out, time stop, changing stop to trail stop once reaching certain target, market chasing, etc., will be added later.
