This column displays the volume of orders at different prices. It shows you the amount as a grey bar graph with the quantity inside the bar in white text.

Buy

This column is visually empty until you hover your mouse over it. Wherever you hover your mouse you will see a blue rectangle with rounded ends, saying "LMT +(X)" or "STP +(X)" (for Limit or Stop).

For rows that show red quantity bars under Ask, you will be offered a Stop prefill. For rows that show blue quantity bars under Bid, you will be offered a Limit prefill.
