Trading Order Setup

The Trading Order is a named object that specifies the properties of an order that can be sent to the brokerage (or the Investor/RT trading simulator) in various ways. Trading Orders can be executed (sent to brokerage) via Chart Buttons, via a Signal Action, via a Trading System rule, via an RTX Extension such as the Chart Trading DOM or the Chart Mini Trader extensions.
