| Desktop notifications |
Instruct TWS to notify you when an order fills using a subtle, transparent notification pop up in the bottom right corner of your screen. This notice displays on top of your open desktop applications and is visible for ten seconds, but it doesn’t take focus away from your current task. If you want more details simply click the pop up to be taken into the orders section of Mosaic or legacy TWS (based on the most recently used active workspace).
Completed orders - Orders that fill completely.
Any trade - Includes partial fills or specific legs filled on combination orders.
Never - Will not notify for any order activity.
|
| Display account number - For users who have multiple instances connected to different accounts, for example a production trading account and a paper account, check Display account number to show the number of the originating account. |
