The extension is the only place a preset can be edited at all — and even here,
editing covers the size and the price, not the order type or the side. The
web terminal can only create and delete. See
Presets for how they work across Ballista.
The list
Presets are grouped into Buy and Sell. Each row reads left to right: the side, the size —$25 on a buy, 40 sh on a sell — then the order type and, for limit presets, the
price in cents.
Hovering a row reveals two buttons on the right.
A preset that could not place an order is shown dimmed, with a line under it saying
won’t fire — delete and recreate, or won’t fire — needs a price between 1¢ and 99¢
when a limit preset’s price is out of range. Nothing fires such a row, in the panel or
here, so it never looks live.
Create one
Press + New Preset at the bottom to open the form.1
Choose Market or Limit
Market fires at whatever the book is offering; limit rests at your price.
2
Choose Buy or Sell
This decides which group the preset lands in.
3
Set a price (limit only)
Between 1¢ and 99¢, entered as a decimal —
0.45 means 45¢. It is stored
snapped to the nearest cent, and a limit preset cannot be saved without a valid
price: Save stays disabled, and a typed price outside the band is called out
with Price must be between 1¢ and 99¢.4
Set the size
Amount (USDC) on a buy, Shares on a sell — the field label follows the
side you chose.
5
Press Save
The preset appears in its Buy or Sell group straight away.
What the size on a preset means
The unit follows the side, exactly as it does in the order forms — buys in dollars, sells in shares:
A
$25 limit @ 40¢ preset spends $25. When it fires, the dollars are converted to
shares at the preset’s stored price — the same conversion the order form previews — so
what the row reads is what the order costs.
Edit or delete
The pencil on a row opens that preset in the same form, prefilled with its size and price. Press Save to keep your changes or the × to back out. The Market/Limit and Buy/Sell controls are disabled while editing, and the form says To change type or side, delete and recreate. Editing covers the size and the price; the shape of the preset is fixed once it exists. The bin deletes a preset immediately, with no confirmation — but a preset holds no money and nothing depends on it, so making it again takes seconds.What to read next
A preset belongs to your account rather than to a market or a device, so the same set is there when you sign in on the terminal, and it can be fired anywhere in the extension.On-page panel
