When one has selected a basket of stocks in the portfolio, and populated the pending order page with IB brokers; entering symbols and quantity and the market turns down, one is locked into the IB page. To leave the brokers page, one must cancel all input, loose data manually entered.
Please allow the IB trade pending to remain populated when exiting and hold the pending orders for the remainder of the trading day. that way one can return to the populated pending page later, and quickly execute orders.
Thanks,
Jim Ownbey
