- "Filled" displays fully filled orders
- "All" displays both groups described above.

Off by default, this setting shows today’s activity so the "Filled" and "All" buttons include orders filled in the current session. Enable this setting to pull in filled orders from prior sessions into your Order Book.

Improvements

Orders

We’ve added a new member to the TT widget family -- the Orders and Fills widget, aka the OFW. The OFW helps you view the full life-cycle of an order in one place, from the initial placement, as it partially fills and then fully fills. No need to jump between three different widgets. All three pieces are pre-packaged into one stand alone widget. Selections made in the upper Order Book pane drive the data displayed in the Fills pane and Positions pane sections of the OFW widget.
