Configure a Default Give-Up

If you have multiple clearing destinations, you can define a default give-up for each asset type. The default will be shown each time you create an order, but can easily be changed by selecting another clearing destination.

To create a default give-up

From the TWS Edit menu, select Global Configuration.

In the left pane select Give-ups.

Click "Add" from the top right of the window and fill in the Give-up box.

  • Enter the exchange acronym or use "*" as the wildcard to include all exchanges.
  • Enter the security type.Valid acronyms include:
    • OPT
    • STK
    • FUT
    • FOP

Click OK to save the give-up

To include default give-ups for different security types, click "Add" and specify a separate give-up for each security type.

Click OK at the bottom of the pane to close Global Configuration and save the list of all default give-ups.
