The blotter dock, amending and canceling resting orders in place, and the full account view on Portfolio.

The blotter dock (Canvas)

The dock along the bottom of the Canvas is your command center for open work:

  • Positions, Orders, and Fills in one place.
  • A queue position column shows where your resting order sits in line at its price level.
  • It updates in real time as your orders fill or change.
  • It sits below your tiles, so you never lose sight of the order book while managing orders.
The blotter dock: every resting order in one place, sorted and multi-selected to cancel.

Amending an order

You can change a resting order’s price or quantity in place. In the one-sided book, drag an order’s clock pill onto a new price and confirm, Pro shows a glass price ladder with every valid tick for that market, colored by book side (green bids, red asks) with a warning if your new price would cross the spread and fill immediately. Your original price is marked in orange so you always see where you’re moving from.

Canceling

Click the × on any resting order to cancel it immediately. You can also select multiple orders and cancel them in bulk; bulk cancels summarize the total before you confirm.

The Portfolio page

Portfolio gives you the full account view:

  • A stat strip across the top: cash balance, positions value, unrealized P&L, and open positions.
  • Tabs for Open orders, Open positions, Fill history, and closed positions.
  • Open orders are inline-editable: change price or quantity and amend without leaving the table.
  • Everything is sortable, and long tables scroll with their headers so you never lose the column labels.
  • Profit and loss is shown net of fees, using the same formula everywhere in Pro so the numbers always agree.

How fresh is it?

Positions and orders update the instant an order fills, backed by a fast background refresh. Different surfaces poll on slightly different cadences, so a number may update a second or two apart between, say, the order panel and the blotter, the math behind them is identical.
