Orders posted on the exchange versus on my computer only

[Austiner87]

Hi NT8 support,

how do I change the settings between making sure my limit orders are posted on the actual CBO futures exchange, versus showing those orders just on my personal computer (as to prevent them from being shown on the exchange). I understand the latter will likely cause a difference in entry/exit price. thank you!

Hello Austiner87,

A Simulated Stop or Market-If-Touched order is a simulated order that is not submitted to the broker until touched.

Any other order type, that is not a simulated order, submitted to a live account, is submitted immediately to the brokerage and then to the exchange and works on the exchange.

Orders submitted to the Sim101 or other simulation accounts are simulation only and are never submitted to a brokerage.
