What happens to your money
The order log, on the left, shows what happens to your money, newest on top: every order sent, every fill, every refusal and cancel, exits, halts, locates, risk, arming, and paper or live. News for your symbols appears here too.
Warnings always show
A warning or a failure always appears, whatever it is about, from a ladder price that would not move, to a shortcut that could not be saved. So nothing that went wrong can hide. Every refusal and cancel is listed too, so a trade that did not happen has a reason.
EXECUTIONS
On the right, EXECUTIONS lists every fill as it happens: the time, the side, the quantity, the symbol and the price, the net, and where it came from, and why it exited.
About your orders
In Lite, the pane stays about your orders: what was sent, what the broker said, what filled, what was refused and what exited, plus halts, locates, risk and news. The desk's own bookkeeping is kept off the screen, so the log reads as the story of your trades.
Nothing is lost
And orders.log, beside the program, carries every line, the desk's own notes included, so what was sent and what came back can always be checked later. And EXPORT packs it, with your settings, into one zip, if you ever need to look into a session.
Read it after a trade
After a fast trade, the log tells the story in order: the entry sent, the broker's acknowledgement, the fill price, and how the exit was worked.
Your broker's reply
Each order's broker reply is written in the log, as the broker gave it, not as the desk summarised it.
