Post From: TradeDOM working orders column

SC, you have a DOM that is on par with some of the best in the business, and is better than most. This is outstanding for a retail trading platform. That said, there is a single feature which would really make it better: a working orders column.

Currently, orders appear in the column where the volume by price profile lives. I understand the reason for this, so that it can essentially use the same code/base as chart trading, as the TradeDOM is really just a stripped down chart.

However, a major problem is that it is not easy to quickly cancel orders. You have to find the 'X'. This may not seem like a big deal, but in a fast moving market, it is critical to be able to cancel an order (with the mouse) quickly. More than a few times I have moved the mouse quickly and clicked the quantities field (as a side note, editing the quantity of a working order is not something most DOM users really need IMO ... it's easier to cancel and re-enter the order with the correct quantity). Having a dedicated column available to show working orders would be amazing, and a configurable single click to cancel the order (left/right click and re-click to move, or click/drag to move; the other button single click to cancel).

Please consider this; it would improve core/critical functionality (the DOM exists primarily for order entry anyway), and would allow orders to not obscure other DOM elements. See attached photo for an example from TT.
