Setting up a few defaults prior to trading can make your experience much smoother. Start by defaulting your Account and TIF for all order entry windows. From the Main Toolbar:

View – Settings -- Destinations:

Next, set your defaults for where you would like to send orders. You can default a destination for initiating a position (Dest) and covering a position (Cover Dest). I’ve set them both to ARCA in the screenshot below:

These defaults will now flow through to your Order Entry windows and save critical time when setting up your next order. Please reach out to the Help Desk to discuss these and other time saving tips.
We look forward to learning more about your trading needs.
