Instead of quantity amt can you input a dollar amount and have SC automatically calculate the quantity amount? I'm exploring using SC for stocks with IBKR. So as I'm swapping between multiple stocks, I want to trade the same $ amount. Its a bit of a pain to manually calculate the # of shares. Especially in a fast moving market I'm using think or swim right now, but SC is far superior to TOS, and would prefer to use SC for stocks as well as futures trading. |
