Blocktrader Settings
These settings affect only the selected Blocktrader widget. To update the default settings for newly-opened Blocktrader widgets, set the Save as Blocktrader defaults option on the Defaults tab. To apply default settings to Blocktrader widgets already opened in the workspace, enable Update existing Blocktrader widgets on the Defaults tab.
Tip: The selected exchange and order type values and order confirmation checkbox setting in Blocktrader can be saved as Defaults. Widget height and width adjustments can also be saved.
The Settings tab includes display settings and order entry settings.
