Order Ticket Window - Miscellaneous

Use the Miscellaneous order fields to apply order attributes and set specific rules for OCA groups.

OCA Group

 

If the order is part of a one-cancels-all order, enter the OCA name in this field. All orders with the same name in the OCA field become part of an OCA order. Once you use a name, you cannot use that name again even after the order executes or is canceled.

Partially filled instructions

Set instructions on how to behave when order is partially filled. The default is to have other orders in the OCA group proportionately reduced in size based on the quantity of the filled portion.

Overfill Protection

Dictates that only one order in the group will be routed to an exchange at a time. This completely removes the possibility of an overfill.
