TP automatically submits MOO orders prior to market open and market orders after market open. Currently when this situation happens, the user must wait until after market open to have TP resubmit the order as a market order. This is inconvenient for the user and in some cases it may not be possible for the user to be available at market open to have TP resubmit the order. This is a request to expand the right-click list on the TP Opening Orders tab to include options for specific order types. For example, one could replace the "Enable ALL For This Symbol" option with "Enable MKT Order For This Symbol" and "Enable MOO Order For This Symbol". This would allow the user to specify that a market order be submitted before market open and eliminate the need for the user to be available at market open to do this. As an aside, 4F did not fix the problem that the reason for IB order cancellation is not being displayed in the TP Message field. The user is forced to dig it out of the IBG logs. Hopefully, this can get fixed in the next TP release. | |
