It does not matter if you are using a Trading DOM or the Chart DOM. In either case, the particular order that is put in depends on the column you clicking in, whether you are left or right clicking, and whether you are above or below the current price. The specific order you enter is defined in the "Trade >> Chart DOM Settings >> Order Types". You will see that there is no option for a general "Market" order, therefore it is not possible to enter a Market order by clicking on the DOM. Refer to the following: Global Trade Settings Windows: Order Types (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings) Given the above, the most likely scenario is that you are actually placing a "Limit" order either as a "Buy" above the current price or a "Sell" below the current price. In this case, since the current price is more favorable, you will automatically be filled at the market price. So you are not really entering a Market order, but it is becoming one. Now, given the above, what you are also need to understand is that a Buy order is going to fill at the Best Ask price and a Sell order is going to fill at the Best Bid price. So you need to look at those values to see how your order is being filled.
