interactive broker close all order

Discussion in 'Interactive Brokers' started by edward22245, Jul 15, 2022.

  1. I am using TWS from interactive brokers
    and on the booktrader, there is 'close position' button. However, if I click it, it sends a limit order which I then have to click another button to transmit. How can I change this to a market order to be submitted immediately without having to press another button for confirmation?

    I can of course ask IB directly, but as all of you know, their customer service is terrible so I thought I'll have better luck here.

    Thanks in advance!!
     
  2. Look into order presets.
     
  3. Look also into hotkeys, you might not need to push a button at all

    And the help files answer this sort of question.
    Also you can configure a "custom" close button to enter a marketable LMT order. I.e. an order that is below the current executable price, which is effectively a MKT order with protection.
