Every outcome is its own ladder and every row is one price.
A tickside ladder showing six columns: spark, traded, lay, odds, back and P and L. Pink figures are money waiting to lay, blue figures are money waiting to back, and an amber chip marks the user's own resting stake.

One row per price, with both sides of the book on the same rungs.

Reading left to right:

​
Placing

Click a BACK or LAY cell to place at that price.
  • Click into the market’s price and it fills now. That is a taker order.
  • Click away from it and the order rests until the price comes to you. That is a maker order and it pays no fee.
Click the same cell again to stack more at that price. The amber total in the odds column grows with it.
A resting order never jumps the spread. It sits at the price you chose and fills only when the market gets there.

​
Cancelling

Four ways, and they differ in reach.

​
Closing out

Two ways out, and they are the same trade at different sizes. ⇄ hedge flattens the whole position through the book in one click. It takes whatever the market is offering right now. Click a P&L cell to close at one particular price instead. The column already shows what closing at each rung would lock in, after fees, so you are picking a number you can read rather than doing the arithmetic first. The cells only respond while you hold a position the book can actually close.

​
What your stake means

The S / L / E button (or M) decides what your preset stands for. This is the control most worth understanding, because the same number can mean three very different amounts of risk.
The figure is the stake. A back risks it. A lay risks it × (odds − 1).So 100at1.10risks100 at 1.10 risks 10, and the same 100at10.0risks100 at 10.0 risks 900.

​
Below the ladder

Matched / Unmatched lists your fills and your working orders. The header carries exposure and live P&L.
A taker order that never actually entered shows as VOID. It never counts toward P&L. The desk shows it so a bet you thought you had does not simply vanish.

​
The header chips

Three panes, opened from the chips beside the market’s name.
