   -     **Submit** Click submit to add the pit trade to the account inventory. Pit trades do not ever hit the exchange or the clearing firm, they are simply manual fills entered as a result of busted trades, trades done in a pit, trades filled via a desk, or any other fill that occurs outside T4.

+====== Debit vs Credit  ======
+This is an example of how to read the Debit vs Credit.
+Looking at the below screenshot, if you sell this call spread you will collect a credit. If you buy this same call spread you will pay a debit.
+In the upper left corner of each solver you'll see a two-way arrow icon that has either a pink or blue background. If it's pink, then everything else shown will reflect what will happen if you sell the spread. For example, you would sell the 5250 Call (since it has a pink background) and buy the 5275 Call (since it has a blue background), and the trade should result in a credit (based on the Cr in the green fair value box).

+Similarly, if the arrow icon has a blue background, everything else will reflect what will happen if you buy the spread. The buys/sells of the legs are reversed and the credit flips to a debit (Dr).
