Final Notes:
- Do not use $
with tickers.
- Submit using a specified price, or use CMP
or M
for submitting at the current market price.
- Multiple trades can be submitted in a single message by using 3 back ticks (```) before and after the whole message.
Using Slash Commands
Submitting trades through slash commands has a more user friendly aspect to it but can take some seconds longer than text messages.
