Precautionary Settings

Trading Term

Precautionary values are used by the system as safety checks. If you submit an order that violates any of these custom settings, you will have to confirm your intent to transmit the order before TWS submits it. Precautionary settings such as the size limit, total value limit, and percentage constraint, can be changed in Classic TWS by selecting the Edit menu option followed by Global Configuration. In Mosaic, you can access Global Configuration through the File menu option. Once in Global Configuration, choose Presets on the left-hand side.
