The most popular IB front-end

Which is why I think it was made as a different strategy. As you noted, it could be dangerous on the same strategy.

But you don't want to be limited to what you can do. I use the breakthrough strategy as a strangle. For those moments when the markets is gonna explode but you don't know which way.

edit: I see now youre talking about Buttontrader. I do not want to disable this feature as it has saved me a lot of money.
 
Quote from Bearbelly:

The problem I had with Booktrader was remembering whether to right clik or left clik. This is not a problem when you have plenty of time but if your in a hurry this can be costly. Buttontrader will not allow you to put in a sell limit order beneath the bid or a buy limit above the ask but Booktrader will. I would really like to see IB add this safety feature.

Booktrader was a disaster waiting to happen last time I used it, especially the drag/drop functionality LOL. I'm sure a few more iterations will make it more usable and robust.

In the mean time there is Buttontrader....
