The default destination for orders is SMART, however, this default can be removed thereby allowing for a destination to be specified when an order is created. To change the default, select Edit and then Global Configuration options from the TWS top level menu to open the configuration pane. Then select Presets and the desired product type (e.g., stock, options, futures). Under the Miscellaneous title bar there is a box for “No default destination” which, if checked, will require you to specify a destination exchange prior to transmitting each order for that product type.
Can I change the default destination for my trade orders from SMART?
