The extra-fun thing was that tech support didn't seem to know this last week (a few of them knew it today). I had seven different tech support guys on in just one of my calls last week, and not one knew it was a new "feature".
Of course it's insane to even bother having the booktrader feature if trades require confirmation. It's bad enough that the initial order requires confirmation, but if you are configured for automatic stop or bracket orders, and you want to modify them during the trade by dragging, yes, you have to confirm those changes as well.

Wow, this is lame. Do we have an IB rep on this board anymore who can come and explain what the heck they are thinking? I've become quite fond of Booktrader, it's a fast little tool if you don't need to mess with custom strategies / bracket orders. I've got it customized to my liking, but now I'm going to have to pay a vendor for a product that IB had previously given me for free?
I will stay on the 905 version as long as I can, but the thing with IB is they will eventually force you to upgrade because certain features will stop working if you don't.

I'd have to think too many traders were making mistakes. No such confirmation is needed trading from TWS order screens, so why Booktrader?
