Trade Button widget
A compact floating quick-trade bar that hovers over the chart. Two large buttons — BUY / SELL — with size and leverage inline. Drag onto the chart for a Limit at the drop price. The fastest path from a chart-read to an order on the book.
The Trade Button widget is a floating quick-trade bar that hovers over the chart and gives you two large click targets: BUY (green) and SELL (red). Between them sit the size input and the leverage chip. Click a button and an order is dispatched immediately at the current best quote. Drag a button onto the chart and a Limit order is placed at the price you drop on. The point of the widget is speed — no dialog, no widget panel, just one click between chart-read and order.
For the full quick-trade dialog (TP / SL strips, Limit, Stop, Conditional, etc.) use the Trade widget.
Open
- Widget Picker → Trade Button card. Click to toggle on.
- The bar appears as a small floating strip docked over the chart, default position bottom-right of the active pane.
- Drag the title strip to reposition; the position persists per session.

| Element | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| BUY button | Green | Sends a Market BUY immediately at the best ask. |
| SELL button | Red | Sends a Market SELL immediately at the best bid. |
| Size input | Last used | Position size — contract qty or USDT notional (togglable). |
| Leverage chip | Last used | Tap to open the leverage dialog (perpetuals only). |
| Drag handle | — | Tiny grip on the title strip; drag to reposition. |
Click-to-Market
The fastest path. Click BUY → Market BUY hits immediately at the best ask. Click SELL → Market SELL hits at the best bid. The order uses:
- Order type: Market.
- Symbol: Whatever the active pane is showing.
- Side: BUY or SELL.
- Size: The value in the size input.
- Leverage: The leverage chip (perpetuals only; ignored on Spot).
- TP / SL: None — Trade Button is a bare market entry by design.
Use the Trade widget when you want TP / SL set up at order time.
Drag-to-Limit
You can also drag the BUY / SELL button onto the chart canvas. The drop point's price becomes a Limit order at that price, not a Market order. Drop above current price with the SELL button for a Sell-Limit; drop below current price with the BUY button for a Buy-Limit. This is the fastest way to scale into a level without typing — visual scan, drag, drop, done.
A small preview line follows your cursor during the drag so you can place the order precisely.
API required
Trade Button routes orders through your connected exchange API. If you have no API connection, both buttons are greyed out with an API Connect tooltip linking to API Connect.
Multi-pane behaviour
The Trade Button always trades on the active pane's symbol. Click a different pane → Trade Button switches its target. The bar itself stays docked at the same screen position; only its target follows the active pane.
Mobile
On mobile the Trade Button widget docks to the bottom of the screen instead of floating, because floating bars on a touch surface conflict with chart pan and pinch gestures. The size / leverage controls remain inline; drag-to-Limit is replaced with a long-press menu that lets you pick "Place Limit at hover price" on the chart.
