If positions are multi-directional, then qty. cell is not colored;
If there are no positions, qty. cell will not be colored and qty. value = N/A.
When trading multi-position symbols, open price of all the positions is calculated as weighted average value;
The Orders column shows all pending orders and allows their modification. Limit orders are displayed as numbers, and Stop orders - as underlined numbers. Group of orders is displayed with two vertical lines of the pending order left side;
