Monitor the Order Progress

Instructions

The order Summary provides real-time data to let you monitor the progress of the Accumulate/Distribute order. This data applies only to the algo on this page. Use the aggregate Summary tab to see order management lines for all of your Accumulate/Distribute algos.

  1. Share submitted - Shows the number of shares that have currently been submitted.
