Hi, I think I am wishing something that is impossible to do but is there any way to adjust the "Quantity" based on a fixed position $dollar size while placing market (MKT) orders? In other words, say I want a position size of $10,000 can I adjust the "Quantity" of shares to this $ value and have this order At Market? Automated? Even if it was roughly around the $10,000 would be great Thanks Sabia.
Try "Use Default Amount to Calculate Size" under http://www.interactivebrokers.com/php/webhelp/Screens/Default_Order_Settings.htm
Thanks giggollo! Does this work without market data and using "Good After Time?" I didn't mention that in my post above. Is this "Default Amount to Calculate Size" used as a quick way to have the quantity calculated for a trade made straight away? Thanks.
Thanks forex - I maybe wrong but jeez there are some fantastically sarcastic posts on ET. Sorry if I have msundstood your intentions/big text! Did you miss the word - Automated? Cheers Sabia.
