This will bring up a dialog, which contains all the valid Order Entry accounts you used before.

In the table below you can see all the prices listed in the middle for your current instrument. The last traded price will be highlighted in green and will also show the last size in brackets.

To the left of the price column you can see the Bid size column with the values highlighted in blue and to the right you can find the Ask size column with the values highlighted in red.

At the left and right margins of the ladder you can find the buy and sell Order Entry columns. Double-tap at the right or left side of the ladder will bring up the "Order Ticket" dialog for placing an order. In order to read more about this, go to the Order Ticket section of this help.

If you want to go back to your previous screen, tap the "Cancel" button.

You can also drag and drop the placed orders. After you selected the new price for the dragged order, a confirmation dialog will appear. You can confirm the action by pressing the "Yes" button or go back to "Price Ladder", if you tap "No". Below each order you should have an On/Off toggle button. This can be used, if you have more than one order at a specified price and you don't want to cancel/replace just some of them.

Anytime, if you want to go back to the "Quote Detail" page, tap the "Back" button from the upper left corner of the screen.
