IB TWS hotkeys direct order

  1. I've been searching for this for days now and can't find any help. How do you set ARCA as default route order and if not possible how do you do that with hotkeys? I tried via ORDER ENTRY where there is a dropdown of available exchanges but it doesn't stay active when I use ORDER ENTRY again. When I tried to set it via hotkeys only SMART is available as a selection and directed has to be entered manually. Manually you can enter any text even exchanges that don't exist. So I've entered ARCA and when preformed a test it was showing SMART under exchange destination not ARCA. In my opinion it is very complicated, probably done by IB to keep clients using smart routes as much as possible. Any ideas? I was not able to find how to do it in GENERAL SETTING under PRESETS for STOCKS.
