Stock orders can be quickly submitted from the Security Info widget window, as described below.

To click-and-order a stock from a Security Info window:

1. Open a Security Info widget window (shown below), if it’s not already displayed. Here real-time market metrics for a selected symbol are displayed.

   
2. Enter (or search for) a symbol of interest into the Symbol field. Current data is immediately displayed in the table for that symbol.

3. Click Trade to place an order for the displayed symbol. An Order Ticket window opens, similar to below.

   

   Note the that the order parameter fields are populated with the data from the Security Info window.

4. Proceed with preparation for the submission of your order ticket, adjusting the fields as appropriate (see section Order Ticket Window).

5. When the order instructions are set click Buy or Sell to trade accordingly. A verify and confirm window opens where you can review the order you are about to submit. Then click Trade to submit the order for processing.

   Your new order appears in your Orders window, described in section Viewing Your Orders.
