Changing BUY/SELL Order Type

BUY/SELL orders can be submitted as with either two types of time in force instruction:

  • IOC (Immediate or Cancel): order is executed all or in part immediately
  • FOK (Fill or Kill): order is executed immediately and completely or not at all

Change the BUY/SELL order type either by selecting appropriate type from the order form menu with their mouse, or by using <shift>+<dynamic summary> shortcut keys of the EBS Keypad.

The default order type can be configured for each pair in the Instruments tab of User Preferences.

Note: IOC order forms do not have a visual indicator.

Submitting/Aborting a BUY/SELL Order

The following rules apply:

  • Submit a Buy/Sell Request as an IOC or FOK order when no Error message displays, by pressing <send> on the Keypad or clicking SEND.
  • To abort the workflow and close the BUY/SELL Request Form, click CANCEL.
