Hi all,

I do not know why but although I have disabled order confirmation for all kind of order in the menue (see attached screenshot) SC is always asking for confirmation when I want to place /flatten an order.
I do only have this issue when working with order allocation. As soon as "order allocation " is disabled I am not being asked for confirmations again.

Many thanks in advance

When using the Order Allocation for Trade Accounts the confirmations are always going to come up. There is not a way to turn this off.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

This needs to be allowed to be turned off.
If we choose to turn off confirmations, it's because we don't want them.

If a disclaimer is needed when we chose that option in order allocation for the first time. Then that's ok.
We just don't need an interfering confirmation popup slowing down order entry, or when trying to flatten a trade in these fast-moving markets.

I still have this Problem. Is a fix still in the works or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you in advance!

I just did last week but I also have more than one install so I might have mixed them up, will update everything and try again.
Thank you so much for your fast response!

I updated everything to 2448 and I'm still getting the confirmation when I flatten.
I checked all DOMs and made sure confirmations are off.
Let me know if you can think of any other causes please.

After RTH I will try to replicate the issue in separate installations see what that brings.

You need to disable the confirmation for the Flatten operation:

Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Menu >> Order Confirmations (chart specific)

OF course that was the first thing I did. For every Trade window I have and checked all accounts in each dropdown.

I switched to sim globally to provoke the message to make a screenshot.
It behaves the same outside sim mode though.

I even opened a tradewindow for every chart in the chartbook and made sure the confirmations are all unchecked!
Maybe something carried over from an old SC build and I need to rebuild my chartbook from scratch.
Just did and the moment I switch on the "Enable Order Allocation to Trade Accounts", the problem starts.


Statistically the user is the problem and not SC I assume :) so I appreciate the time!

To be clear I'm on the latest "current version". Not prerelease. LMK if you think that could make a difference.

The first rebuild yesterday reproduced the problem but it was made from a cleaned up version of the CHT in question.
Today I built two more chartbooks also in a different installation and now I can not reproduce the problem.
So I dont want to steal more of your time and instead rebuild everything since the problem seems to be in the CHT and not the software version.

Thank you so much for trying to help me though!
Much appreciated!

Regards,
WELD

Oh haha maybe that was it then because I did update the install today before the two CHTs that didn't reproduce the problem anymore.
Thank you! You guys rock!
