Disable order verification

While it is not recommended, checking this setting makes it possible to place orders without verifying them before they are sent.

IMPORTANT: If you turn off Order Verification, your orders are immediately submitted without a verification screen, so you will not have the opportunity to review the terms of your order prior to entry and won’t see warnings or informational messages related to your orders. By unchecking this feature, you accept the associated risks of trading without an Order Verification window and messaging.

Show order status on Trading pages

Clear Bracket exits after order submission
