To place an order to buy the prevailing offer (equivalent to placing a market order to buy), simply click the blue box adjacent to the prevailing offer price in red. To place an order to sell the prevailing bid (equivalent to place a market order to sell), simply click the red box adjacent to the prevailing bid price in blue.

Limit orders function in the same way, except that you click on the blue or red box that corresponds to the price limit at which you want to place your order – not the current bid or offer. Upon placing a limit order, a description of this order will appear in the white column immediately adjacent to the colored box. In the above example, you can see that we’re working to buy two contracts on a limit at a price of 1398.3 while selling one contract on a limit at 1400.3.

It’s also possible to place additional types of orders, including stop orders (not available through DOME), using Jtrader’s trade ticket window. To see how, click here
