Order Entry Modules

PhotonTrader consists of a series of "pads" that can be arranged on your screen any way you like. Each pad has a specific function. Two of the basic pads are the Limit/Market Order Pad and Stop Pad. As the names suggest, these pads allow you to enter limit, stop and market orders.

Trade Pad

  • Color-coded One-Click Buy/Sell Market buttons.

  • Drop-down list of commonly used symbols. Save screen space by re-using a pad for more than one symbol.

  • Single-click increments (+/- color coded buttons).

  • Join the queue by using the appropriate color-coded JOIN button.

  • Use Take and Hit buttons for immediate execution similar to market orders.

Stop Order Pad

  • Works in a similar manner as the limit-market pad shown above. Color-coded buttons for Buy and Sell sides reduce chances for errors.

  • Adjusting the trigger prices automatically adjusts the limit prices based on an increment you specify for this symbol in the Options window (not shown).

  • All pads, including this one, can link to the MarketView window so that a symbol/instrument change in one window is reflected in the other. (Access this via the "chain" icon on the top left shortcut bar.)

Combined Pads

  • The two pads above can be combined into a single window. This is useful for traders that need to manually enter protective orders immediately after their initial order.

  • Use the small "plus" and "stop" icons in the toolbar to add/remove sections from the full order pad.

  • All pads, including this one, can be kept "pinned" to the top of other applications. Very useful if you have a crowded desktop. (Access this feature via the "pin" icon on the top-left shortcut bar.)

  • All pads can be opened multiple times. Thus, you can have one pad for each symbol, one pad for all symbols or a combination.

  • The status bar at the bottom of all order pads displays the order that you will execute. A great feature when confirmations turned off (i.e.: one-click turned on), this allows you to be sure that your order parameters are correct.

Limit/Market Order Pad

  • Incorporate simple or complex technical analysis rules in your trading.

  • Create intricate spreading strategies.

  • Modify the user interface to match the way you trade.

And Build It!

  • Built for use with all Microsoft Languages.

  • Sample custom applications available to get you started in your favorite development language (C#, VB.NET, C++, VB6).

  • Display and Manipulate market data.

  • Use our UI widgets or incorporate your own.

Accolades For PhotonTrader

"With PhotonTrader's exceptional modularity, traders are able to customize their screens, not only to suit their individual preferences as traders, but also to fit their specific needs as they switch trading caps from "e-mini trader" to "bond trader" and so on....

"The creators of PhotonTrader themselves are veterans of the trading pits, and the software they have built seems particularly suited to meet the needs of higher-volume, professional traders as well as institutional-level traders. These are the market players whose requirements for stability, functionality, scalability, redundancy, and quality are excruciating."
