Mouse Wheel Support. AutoTrader is the first program to introduce this feature. Most of the entry box values can be modified by moving the mouse pointer inside the box, and turning the mouse wheel up or down. Turn up will increase the value, turn down will decrease the value. Only when you move out the mouse pointer from the box will the new value be applied.
Four ways to enter your data, use the mouse wheel, right click and select from a popup list selection, type in your entry using the keyboard and hit TAB, and middle click your mouse and use the KeyPad.

Breakout Entry allows you to enter a stop buy and stop sell OCA order pair by specifying the buy and sell price.

Partial fills for Position Entry are protected. If the price goes against you up to your stop offset amount, then the partial filled quantity is closed and the rest of the order is cancelled. You might think at first that you are getting a better fill, but you might actually be catching a falling knife without this feature.
