The Buy/Sell screen contains the form which you use to enter in your trading orders. Through this form you can trade any player that is traded on any of the GI markets. The trade transactions which are possible on GI markets are:

• Buy
• Sell from Portfolio
• Buy to Cover
• Sell Short

For any trade you can select to use the closest Market order or put a Limit price on the order.

Below is a sample of what the Buy/Sell form looks like:

In the sample above, you would BUY 1,000 shares of Tiger Woods (ticker symbol: TIWOS) with a LIMIT price of $13 on the 2001 PGA Season Market.

If you would like to get the latest price for Tiger Woods, you enter his ticker symbol (TIWOS) and press the "Get Quote" link. This will bring up the price of the last executed trade for Tiger, along with the closest bid and ask prices and the day's high and low prices.

If you do not know the ticker symbol of a player/stock, enter the last name in the "Stock or Last Name" field and press the "Get Symbol" link. This will get the symbol for the player you are looking for.

Or you can press the "All Players Traded" link to see a list of all the players traded on the market you selected in the Market pull-down menu.

Once you have entered in all the information in the Buy/Sell form, you will press the Submit button. An Order Confirmation page will appear with the details of your order.

Below is a sample of what the Order Confirmation page looks like:

Order Confirmation

Once you press the "Confirm Order" button to confirm the order, you will be presented with a message that the order has been successfully submitted to the market.

See the sample message below:

Your order was successfully submitted to the market.

You can also make another trade (see form below) or See Order List.

Then you are ready to make another trade, see the order you just placed in the order list, or anything else that strikes your fancy on GI.
