How to view out of range Stop Loss and Profit Target orders
Displaying Stop Loss and Profit Target orders outside the visible rangeThere may be times when your Stop Loss or Profit Target orders are outside of the visible price range of the SuperDOM price ladder. You can easily bring these orders in range by first disabling Auto Center from the SuperDOM right click menu, and then clicking with your middle mouse button in the Price column.
As long as Auto Center is disabled, clicking on the bid or above with your middle mouse button will bring into visible range the first stop loss or profit target order above the highest displayed price of the price ladder. Clicking below the bid with your middle mouse button will bring into visible range the first stop loss or profit target order below the lowest displayed price of the Price Ladder.
You can then quickly navigate back to the last traded price by either re-enabling Auto Center, or pressing the C button to manually re-center the price.
