When enabled, you can also enable the Left-click = aggressive setting in Edit | Preferences from the workspace menu bar. When this setting is enabled, the Order Ticket is automatically seeded to lift the offer (Buy) or hit the bid (Sell).

If the originator includes instructions or a message when staging an order, the message text is displayed on the Order Ticket when the owner clicks the "B" or "S" button to fill the claimed care order.
