Introduction

The Default Trade Actions settings allow you to set the defaults for the Trade Actions dialog box. The Trade Actions dialog box appears on the Trade List page when you select Trade Actions in the More Actions list. The Trade Actions dialog box allows you to select your trading options before sending trades to your custodian for execution.

When you show the Trade Actions dialog box, your options won't be locked to the defaults you set under Default Trade Actions. You can still change your trade settings as needed. However, the defaults you set on the Default Trade Actions settings save you time by allowing you to select your most commonly used options.
