the piker.clearing subsys is exposed mainly though the piker chart GUI as a "chart trader" style UX and is automatically enabled whenever a chart is opened.

the "manual" order control features are exposed via the piker.ui.order_mode API and can pretty much always be used (at least) in simulated-trading mode, aka "paper"-mode, and the micro-manual is as follows:

order_mode (

edge triggered activation by any of the following keys, mouse-click on y-level to submit at that price ):

• f/ ctl-f to stage buy
• d/ ctl-d to stage sell
• a to stage alert

search_mode (

ctl-l or ctl-space to open, ctl-c or ctl-space to close ) :

• begin typing to have symbol search automatically lookup symbols from all loaded backend (broker) providers
• arrow keys and mouse click to navigate selection
• vi-like ctl-[hjkl] for navigation
