Right-Click Order Entry (Back to Index)

With the cursor over the quote window, right clicking gives you a number of order entry options.

First, make sure that the contract you want to trade is selected in the Quote Window. Then select the quantity of contracts you wish to trade. Then with your cursor over the quote window, right click. This gives you the choices shown below:

In the example shown, clicking BUY (Join) the BID will return a window asking you to first select a month. Then after you enter the month, a trade ticket will be populated with a limit order to buy September E-Mini S&P 500 (ESU3) at the current bid, or 995.75 in this case. The quantity shown in the trade ticket will not change from what was already entered.

Right clicking also enables you to load a trade ticket based on the contract selected in the Quote Window. So if you clicked on Load Ticket in the example shown above, it would populate a trade ticket, but in this case would automatically load the month (September in this case), and would set a market order in the Order Spec window. You still have to select the quantity and BUY or SELL.
