This opens a standard Order Ticket pre-filled based on the user-defined default buy ticket. If no changes are desired, simply click Buy {Sym} and confirm to place the order.

The order ticket contains these fields which can be edited on the fly:

1. Qty
2. Order Type
3. Order (limit) basis
4. Duration (GTC)
5. More
6. Buy button
7. Estimated cost of trade
8. Limit price
9. OCA
10. Toggle to large order ticket
11. OTA dropdown arrow
12. Set order ticket defaults

Click the Qty button to choose the desired quantity for the order. Quantity can be set on any one of these four basis:

• Number of shares--the actual number of shares desired
• Dollar Value--a dollar amount (the program will select the closest number of shares to that dollar value)
• Percent of Buying Power--some percent of the available buying power in the account
• Percent of Cash--some percent of the available cash in the account

Select the type of order desired.

Using the various fields in the menu, the Limit basis can be set on:

1. The Ask (or an offset above/below the Ask);
2. The Midpoint between the Bid & Ask;
3. The Bid (or an offset above/below the Bid);
4. A specific price
5. "Step-to" order values

Note: the offset spinner is used to set the offset values above or below the Bid/Ask.

The time-in-force field is used to choose the duration --GTC (good-til-cancelled by user); Day (good for the current trading session only); Immediate or Cancel (fill any quantity of the order immediately or cancel it); Fill or Kill (fill the full quantity of the order immediately or cancel it);

By clicking the OCA button and selecting any order from the list, an OCA group is created. (This step is optional and only used if an order dependency is desired.)

Attach to the order a Stop/Trailing Stop/Profit Target (or bracket of two of these)
