Quote from Runningbear:

FUTUREMANN, I'm struggling to understand your question. If you are long one contract and you reverse, then TWS will sell 2 contracts and your short 1. If your short 1, it will buy 2 contracts and your long 1. What else do you want it to do?

Your statement is not very clear.


......If you are long one contract and you reverse, then TWS will sell 2 contracts and your short 1. If your short 1, it will NOT buy 2 contracts and your WILL NOT long 1,until you go into configuration and redefined the Reverse Button......

That sounds to to me like it has been programmed that way to prevent people accidently reversing a position twice and being long again when they intended to be short. Not a bad thing if you can reconfigure the settings. But yes, not very useful if you can't.

The reason to use one-click button is because it's easier than putting order in on BookTrader. If you have to reconfigure the button everytime you need to click it, then it would have more trouble than putting order in on BookTrader. What's the meaning of this supposed "one-click" button? On the other hand, if you can't tell the difference between one-click abd two-click, you may need this kind of silly design.
