Automated Order Entry
With fully automated trading, TradeStation monitors the markets for you based on your own custom buy and sell rules and executes your trades faster and more efficiently than humanly possible. Using the speed of direct-access execution, TradeStation automatically sends your stock, options, futures or forex orders to the major exchange or ECN you've chosen in your strategy. You also have the option to have TradeStation prompt you for a confirmation before sending your order.

TradeStation tracks all your strategies’ open positions in real time and continuously monitors the markets based on your trading rules, ensuring that you don't miss your exit point, no matter how simple or complex your exit criteria. You can automate virtually any trading strategy imaginable, including multiple conditional entries and exits, profit targets, protective stops, trailing stops, partial fills and more.

1. MATRIX Window
2. Order Bar
3. Market Depth Window
