The default Destination for a stock order in IBKR Mobile is SMART, and it cannot be edited in the Order Ticket. However, you can change the Destination/routing preference using IBot commands.
To use IBot:
- Tap the Trade icon in the bottom navigation menu, and in the Toolbox tap Ask IBot.
- In the Ask IBot text field, enter a command to create your order (for example, "Create a Buy Limit order for XYZ").
- Once the Order Ticket populates, use iBot to modify the order destination, for example "Make Destination NYSE" or "Change Destination to Arca." This will create a Direct-routed stock order to the specified exchange.
Please Note
- Once you accept and submit your stock order from the IBot screen you will not be able to edit the Destination at a later time. Always be sure to review your order carefully before submitting.
- Direct routed orders may be subject to a higher commission than Smart routed orders and may vary based upon product type and method of order entry. See the IBKR website for details.
