Order Staging (Premium Desktop Feature)
This feature allows the user to save Potential Trades for further consideration to decide the best ones to submit.
Staging is also useful when the Market is closed – to be reviewed when the Market is open to determine if it’s still a high-probability trade.
With one click, you can send to the Research Tab, Move to an Order Ticket or Delete and move on to the next staged order.
When Trade Sharing is enabled, Trades made in accounts you are following will be displayed in your Order Staging Tab. The Source will indicate the Account Name. Status of “Used” will display for those trades you submit on one of your accounts.
Expired Staged Orders will automatically be removed.
Following a Shared Account (Premium Desktop Feature)
Under Portfolio>Sharing, click on “Accounts I’m Following” on the left-hand panel.

On the bottom, right panel box under “Options“, make sure to check boxes:
