Can I create shortcuts in Market Depth Trader to create orders on the fly?

You can create buttons in the Market Depth Trader to perform a number of actions including creating orders (and transmitting instantaneously), modifying orders, closing positions, and more. To do so, click on the Configure (wrench) icon in the top right corner of the Buttons section. You can add new buttons by clicking the "New..." button on the right hand side. Select the action you wish to perform from the "Select Action" drop down menu and customize the button in the "Customize Action" section. Once finished, click OK to close the Configure Button window. If you are satisfied with your button configuration, click Apply to save your changes and OK to close the window.

Note

  • MIFID II rules require that Interactive Brokers in Europe and the UK provide its retail clients with a reasonable estimate of the costs and charges related to products and services offered. Since it is mandatory, IBKR has implemented it in all IBKR trading platforms to show the option for the clients to see Ex-ante Costs and Charges disclosure. Clients can see this prompt as a hyperlink named “Cost Impact” at the time of placing orders and will not be able to transmit an order instantaneously.
