Change log:
11/25: Add the PostOnly, TogOrdEntry script.

Introduction:

For the script command, we have two kinds of scripts:

1: Global script --- this script will be available any where in this software. For example,
script command Login will popup login window anywhere.
2: Local script --- this script will only be available in some window. For example,
Price=Price+0.01 is only available to current active Level 2 window. It will increase the
price by 1 cent. This script will take no effect if no Level 2 window is activated.

Some script may take some parameters. Different parameter may have different function.

Multiple scripts can be combined together. For example:

Route=ARCAL;NoRR=Y;SELL
This is 3 script commands separated by semi-comma(;). These three commands will do
the following things:
1. Set the route to ARCA limit order
2. Set do not rout out flag to Yes
3. Send the sell order.

If you don’t want to go over all the details of this manual, the following link will bring

AUTODEF=BUY
AUTODEF=SELL
Automatically default the share amount to the remaining order amount. That is ,if
my default shares are set to 1000 and I’m 560 long on a partial, when I hit sell the
share amount should automatically be for 560 shares, not 1000. (This currently
happens most times but not all times) Most importantly, the default should
change to position only on the closing side of the trade (like it currently does).
For example, if you want to buy 1000 shares long and you are bidding for it, your
bid gets hit for 300 shares and the price moves away from you but you want to hit
the ask to top up your shares to your desired 1000. Your default shares on the buy
side should be 700 not 300. So that you can top your order up to your default
without manually changing it in your box.
 Put AUTODEF=BUY before the buy hot key. And put AUTODEF=SELL before
the sell hot key.
ShareCap=??
Set the share limit box. In the trading window, there is a box for OverFill
protection. If that box has a value, auto-cancel the pending order when fill is
achieved and the position reach this amount.
Some customer may want to put a lot of orders in different market place, as soon
as some of the shares are filled and shares of this position reaches the ShareCap
value, the system will automatically cancel the remaining order.

TogSShare=??
Toggle the Show share (reserve order). If the SShare is not empty, then it set it as

DefShare=??? Set the Default share to ???

??? the exact Default share
Note: this command just change the default share temporary and will not save it.
If you want to save it, do it in normal way.
Also if you are using the Global Default, this hot key will change the global
default. Which will affect the other trading window using the same Order template.
