You can place orders with your broker from all documents that show quote data. Placing an order will open the online order mask of your broker. For many supported brokers, TeleTrader WorkStation can also transfer data of the selected symbol to your broker's systems.

There are several different ways to place an order in TeleTrader WorkStation. For all of them, you first have to select a security that you want to trade. Depending on the type of document where you select the security, you have different possibilities to open a new order ticket:

▫       Price page / watch list: You can create an order by right-clicking a symbol, or by double-clicking in the Bid / Ask columns.

▫       Chart: You can create an order by right-clicking the symbol, or by double-clicking below or above the time series.

▫       Market depth: You can create an order by right-clicking in the document, or by double-clicking in the Bid / Ask columns.

▫       Time and sales: You can create an order by right-clicking the symbol, or by double-clicking in the Bid / Ask columns.

▫       Options matrix: You can trade the underlying symbol by right-clicking it, or by double-clicking in the Bid / Ask columns.

For easier placement of orders, you can also activate single-click trading: See Changing the Trading Settings.

Warning    The amount of symbol data that is transferred to the order mask depends on the broker.
