Enable and configure smart orders, such as Bracket or Iceberg orders.
Before setting preferences for all but OCO orders, choose whether the settings should apply to all symbols or a particular symbol. The symbols list is a master list for all smart orders, so that all symbols from each tab are listed there. If preferences for that symbol have not been set on a particular tab, the symbol is followed by an asterisk.
If the confirmation for placing, cancelling, modifying, and parking orders is turned on in Notifications preferences, then the Notifications check boxes on smart order preference windows are automatically turned on and not active.
To open these preferences, click the Setup button and then click Trading Preferences.
