Click anywhere inside the chart & the drop down shown below appears, select the second option which is "Trading" and then choose option marked "New Order" as shown below.

Another Option is to go to "Tools" menu at the top of the platform, next to file, view, charts & then choose the first option on tools drop down menu; the option is "New Order", just like the one above.

A shortcut is to press F9 key on your keyboard.
