* Move the '''Update frequency''' slider to set up the automatic information update timeout in seconds. It is set to 1 sec by default.<br>

* 1–3 1, 2 or 3 tables with information about real-time orders of the selected strategy. By default, all orders are included in one table.<br>=== Detailed mode settings ===Right click on a table to open the shortcut menu. Use one of the following options if required.: <br>

In order == Tables in the Detailed Mode ==The tables contain information about orders status in auto trading (SA mode) or in the Backtesting Engine (forward testing, auto trading in asynchronous mode).<br>All orders gradually go through the certain statuses. Depending on the status, they are placed in the corresponding table.<br>* '''Table 1. Generated orders.'''<br>It is the status of orders when they are prepared to return be sent on the next tick. For example, the data stops updating at the session end on Friday, and the orders that shall be sent on Monday morning, are generated on the last tick of Friday’s session.<br>* '''Table 2. Active orders.'''<br>It is the status of orders when they are processed by the Backtesting Engine. The Backtesting Engine executes the orders in forward testing and asynchronous mode of auto trading. There are no active orders in the synchronous mode of auto trading.<br>* '''Table 3. Finalized orders.'''<br>It is the status of orders when they are canceled, rejected or filled.<br> As it was mentioned above, it is possible to divide the orders between one, two (Generated / Active and Finalized) or three tables (Generated / Active / Finalized). Regardless of the number of tables, the general quantity of orders is always the same. All tables have the same columns, though some columns may be unfilled if there is no relevant information.<br>== How the Orders are Displayed in the Detailed Mode Tables == [[File:How the orders are displayed (2).png|none|How the Orders are Displayed]]== Columns of the Tables in Detailed Mode == <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" >  <tr><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" > </td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''Generated''' </p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''Filled\Cancelled'''</p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''Instruction'''</p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''Name'''</p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''State'''</p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''Action'''</p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''Type'''</p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''Category'''</p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''Qty'''</p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''Exit From'''</p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''Stop Price'''</p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''Limit Price'''</p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''IOG Mode'''</p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''Qty Filled'''</p></td><td style="background-color:#fad67d;" valign="top" ><p>'''Filled'''</p></td></tr> <tr><td style="background-color:#E3FBE5;" valign="top" ><p> </p> <p>'''Generated'''</p></td><td valign="top" ><p>The time of order generation (in Exchange or Local time) </p></td><td valign="top" ><p>-</p></td><td valign="top" ><p>The description of the order in the script: buytocover from contracts market;</p></td><td valign="top" ><p>The name of the order from the script</p></td><td valign="top" ><p>Generated</p></td><td valign="top" ><p>Buy</p> <p>/</p> <p>Sell</p></td><td valign="top" ><p>Entry</p> <p>/</p> <p>Exit</p></td><td valign="top" ><p>Market</p> <p>/</p> <p>Marketrange (for .Net version only)</p> <p>/</p> <p>Limit</p> <p>/</p> <p>Stop</p> <p>/</p> <p>Stop-Limit</p></td><td valign="top" ><p>Only if specified in the script</p></td><td valign="top" ><p>For exit orders will specify whether the whole position or a specific order is exited.
