Order Management
How does ordering work?
Market Lens provides customers with a simple and efficient way to initiate trading activity while maintaining the existing trading process and controls.
Order requests are only available during the Optimisation Desk opening hours (9:00am - 5:00pm, Monday to Friday).
Creating an Order
- Log in and navigate to the Orders section.
- Select Raise a New Order.
- Enter the required trading details, such as commodity and transaction direction.
- Review the indicative market price displayed within the application.
- Select Raise Order Request.
Trading Desk Contact After an order request is submitted, the system automatically initiates a call to the customer on their provided phone number and then connects them directly to the Optimisation Desk.
This creates a secure, recorded trading conversation using the standard trading line, ensuring compliance with existing trading procedures.
Order Tracking All order requests are recorded within the platform and assigned a status to reflect progress, including:
- Pending – Request submitted and awaiting processing.
- Open – Request is being actioned by the trading team and available to trade.
- Fulfilled – Order has been completed.
Customers can monitor the progress of their orders directly within Market Lens, providing transparency throughout the trading process.
