Order confirmations

For those who want a more streamlined order placement process, order confirmations can now be turned off.  

It is important to note that the order confirmation screen is included in the order placement workflow as protection against the placement of incorrect orders into the market which, if executed, could have a material, negative effect on a client’s portfolio. If you have elect to turn off the order confirmation feature, you will be required to acknowledge, and agree to, a number of key points, including accepting full responsibility for all orders placed on your trading account through the Platform.

You can customise this feature to include a maximum order value warning.  You can use this feature to protect against incorrect order placement over a particular value.  For example, if you never place orders over $2,000, you could enter that figure and receive a warning, but you will still be able to place the order.
