Using the Order Pad on the ThndrX Desktop

The Order Pad is part of the Trade panel on the right side of the ThndrX desktop Trade page.

Use the Order Pad to enter and review the details of a Buy or Sell order for the currently selected stock before submitting the order.

The Order Pad has two tabs:

Selecting Buy or Sell determines the direction of the order.

The Order Type dropdown supports two order types:

📝 Note: Market and Limit orders are also available in the Thndr app. For a detailed explanation of how each order type works, see EGX Stock Order Types.

The Shares and Cash fields behave differently depending on the selected order type.

For a Market order, enter either:

The Order Pad automatically calculates the other field.

For a Limit order:

The Cash field updates automatically to show the estimated cash value based on the number of shares and limit price.

The slider below the Shares and Cash fields lets you choose a percentage of the available amount.

On a Buy order, the slider uses your available buying power. On a Sell order, it uses the available shares you can sell.

Moving the slider automatically updates the Shares and Cash fields.

Time in Force determines how long an order remains active and how the order should be handled if it cannot be executed immediately.

The Order Pad supports:

These time in force options are also available in the Thndr app. For a detailed explanation of each option, see EGX Stock Order Types.

The Order Pad lets you attach:

Stop Loss and Take Profit can be added independently, or both can be attached to the same order.

For details on how Stop Loss and Take Profit orders work, including how to set, edit, and cancel them, see the Bracket Orders article.

The order summary at the bottom of the Order Pad updates as you enter or change order details.

The summary helps you review the order before opening the confirmation screen.

After entering the order details, click Buy or Sell at the bottom of the Order Pad.

A confirmation screen opens showing the order details, including:

Review the order details, then click Buy or Sell again on the confirmation screen to submit the order.

The order is not submitted until the confirmation step is completed.

The Order Pad supports two order types: Market, which executes at the best available price, and Limit, which executes only at a price you specify or better.

Entering Cash instead of Shares is possible only on Market orders, where the other field automatically calculates to match. On Limit orders, Shares must be entered directly and the Cash field reflects the equivalent value based on the limit price.

The slider lets you select a percentage of your available buying power, automatically updating the Shares and Cash fields to match the selected percentage.

If the entered amount exceeds your available buying power or shares held, an error message appears under the Shares or Cash field and the order submission button is disabled until the amount is corrected.

A confirmation screen appears after clicking Buy or Sell, showing the order type, price, shares, cash, fees, and total cost. The order is only submitted after confirming on this screen.

A Stop Loss and Take Profit can both be attached to the same order, and each can be set independently of the other.
