Scale Orders via ScaleTrader

Scale orders are designed to help prevent larger sized trades from being subject to increasingly deteriorating prices by scaling your order into smaller, incrementally priced components based on user-specified price and size instructions. In addition to scaling your order, you can also define a profit offset amount which instructs TWS to automatically submit opposite-side profit taking orders against the individual components of the original order.

Click Open ScaleTrader from the Scale tab to set all scale parameters.
