This is a real pain, due to the following steps that are required but totally meaningless:
1. Click scroll button
2. Moving the mouse left to the checkbutton
3. When clicking checkbutton, must be very careful not to scroll unintentionally, changing the order quantity.
- These are 3 actions, where 2 and 3 require a certain amount of precision. The stop order should simply be on the right-click button, without any confirmation, just like when entering a limit order. There is no need for a context menu inside the actual price scale of the DOM. Never seen any other trading DOM that has such awkward handling.
Then about the bug:
Observed with Market Replay, I'm not sure if the same happens in SIM or LIVE. (Static DOM). Using a simple ATM Strategy with Stop and Target.
1. Click scroll button to enter with stop order
2. Before clicking check button, let price move through your order price.
3. Order (and subsequent orders) will freeze, unable to be canceled. Left with no status.
