Show/Hide Entry Order

An entry order is indicated on a chart by a horizontal line with a label. The horizontal line indicates the price level the order was placed at. The label displays the trade operation ('B' for Buy, 'S' for Sell), the date and time when the order was created.

Note: Time is shown only for orders which were created during the last 12 hours.

If the entry orders is linked to an OCO order, the right part of its label has the same color as all other orders linked to the OCO order.
If the price of the entry order is out of the viewing area, a marker is displayed on the chart. By clicking the marker, you can view the line of the order.

When you point to an entry order line, label or marker, a tooltip appears. The tooltip displays the trade operation ('B' for Buy, 'S' for Sell), the order rate, and the date and time when the order was created.
