Faster Way To Place Futures Orders

[ochreotecta]

Presets for attached orders https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=19017. Settings apply on both TWS and Mobile, at the least.

Need more info about what tool you are using. BookTrader on TWS? Mobile?

Thanks, presets or multi charts look like they will do the trick.

I'm using TWS desktop.

schizo...I really need your help...Can you tell me how to send an email?

I tried to start a private thread with you here at ET but it was rejected for the following reason:

"You may not start a conversation with the following recipients: ElectricSavant."

You need to go to the Settings --> Privacy and then check the box next to "Start private threads with you" and select "Members Only". Once that's done, you can send me a PM.

Currently placing the orders in TWS manually.

When I was using TWS I noticed that placing a bracket exit order, after entering into a position, was rather cumbersome and error-prone. I decided to change my way of working: enter into a position manually in TWS and write some Java software to generate the exit bracket order automatically. So, after an entry order was filled I run that software to create and submit the exit bracket order. Once that exit bracket order was placed could I manually modify the price in TWS if I so desired. The exit bracket order was created and submitted much faster than when I did it manually.

I like using our FREE order entry software which allows me to easily program preset exit strategies that may a bit advanced with multiple exits, trailing stops and more but you can set it up very easily....

He prolly has you on ignore, which he does for anyone he does not agree with.

Nah, the dude loves me. (Otherwise he wouldn't ask me to reach out to him.)
