Depth Ladder

Provides a deeper insight into markets with order books. It gives you price information deeper than the best bid/ask, and lets you fluidly place and cancel orders at any price.

Currently only CME futures are supported for trading via the Depth Ladder

Multiple Ladders can be open at the same time by pushing the + to the right of any existing ladder.

Select the underlying asset to be traded using the top left drop down.

This will modify the Depth Ladder to show corresponding instruments related to that asset

The left hand side of the Depth Ladder contains various settings describing how to put in an order.

Default Amount

This determines the size that orders will generally be sent at, by default. You can deviate from this value using the Amount to Send inputs, described below.

Amount to Send

This will be the order size that will be used on the next order. After this order is sent, the Amount to Send will reset back to the Default Amount.

This allows you to deviate the order size for a single order easily.

The Amount to Send section has buttons that let you conveniently modify the Amount to Send by the corresponding amount.
