Click trading from the ladder

Click trading is order entry performed directly on the depth of market ladder: clicking a price row on the bid column places a buy limit at that price, clicking the ask column places a sell limit, and working orders are moved or cancelled from the same rows. It ties order placement to the depth being read, at the cost of making a mis-click an order.

How the ladder handles orders

A trading ladder is the DOM with two extra columns for your own orders. Clicking in the buy column at a price below the market submits a buy limit there; clicking above the market on the sell column submits a sell limit. Clicking at or through the touch results in an order that executes immediately, depending on the ladder's conventions. Working orders are shown on their rows and can be dragged to another price or clicked to cancel.

Whether any click sends anything at all depends on the connection. A connection without order routing displays a full ladder and sends nothing; that is the expected behaviour, not a defect.

  • Buy column below price: passive buy limit; sell column above price: passive sell limit.
  • Drag a working order to reprice it; the platform cancels and replaces it.
  • Flatten closes every position and cancels working orders from one control.

One click or two

  • One-click mode sends the order the moment the row is clicked. It is the fastest path and the one where a mis-click costs real money.
  • Two-click mode shows a recap before sending. It is slower and removes the cost of a mis-click.
  • The choice is a setting, not a property of the ladder, and it should apply to every entry surface so behaviour is consistent.

In Senzoukria

The Trading screen needs a live broker connection; the desk shows four stages, connection, account, position and protections, each lit from what the broker actually reports. Order confirmation is set in Settings under Trading with two options, 1 click, send immediately, and 2 clicks, confirm first; the hint states that the setting applies everywhere: ticket, chart quick ticket and right-click menu.

Guards live in the same settings and are stored on the backend, shared by every window: maximum quantity, confirmation before sending, daily loss limit. Order routing is a per-connection toggle, off by default. The Flatten button closes everything from any screen and never opens a position. No order leaves without your click; an automated strategy reaches the broker only through the autopilot, which must be armed explicitly.

Common mistakes

  • Trading one-click on a fast ladder without a maximum quantity guard.
  • Assuming a click that was refused means the software is broken, when the account has no routing permission.
  • Judging a fill by the ladder alone: the broker's order feed is the record, and the protections stage only counts a stop once the broker lists it among working orders.

Frequently asked questions

Does click trading work on a prop firm evaluation account?
Only if the connection the firm provides carries order routing. Many evaluation logins deliver market data and accept orders through the firm's designated gateway; some are data-only. The ladder cannot grant a permission the account does not have, so check the connection's routing state before relying on it.
What happens if I click the wrong row in one-click mode?
The order is sent at that price. If it was a passive limit it can be cancelled from its row before it fills; if it crossed the market it executed and the position exists. This is why a maximum quantity guard and a daily loss limit are set before the first session, and why two-click mode is the safer default while learning a ladder.
Can the ladder trade crypto pairs?
In Senzoukria, no. Crypto data is available for analysis on the heatmap and footprint, but the app places no crypto orders. Order entry is reserved for futures accounts connected through a broker or prop firm gateway that reports positions and working orders back to the desk.
