How do I create a Conditional order in TWS?

To create a Conditional order, first set up the order you wish to have triggered. Then, right click on the order and click Modify followed by Condition. Click the Add button on your right to choose which type of condition you wish to set. Types of conditions include Price, Margin Cushion, Volume, Percentage Change, Rebate Rate in %, Time, Daily P&L, Trade, or Shortable Shares.
Choose your condition type, click the Next button, and follow the prompts to finish setting up your condition. Once finished, you will be brought back to the Order Ticket window. Once you are ready to Transmit your order, click the blue Transmit button at the bottom of the window.

More information on conditional orders can be found on our website and in our Users' Guide.
