Move Entry Orders within an OTO Order

Brief

The article explains all possible ways of moving entry orders within an OTO order.

Details

If an OTO order has several secondary entry orders, they can be organized in a variety of patterns: they can be of different levels of subordination: 1, 2, 3,..., they all can be of the first level, any secondary order of any level can have its own secondary order or orders that can have their own subordinate secondary orders, and so on. You can move any of these secondary orders around the OTO order's pattern.

To move one or more secondary orders around an OTO order's pattern

1. In the OTO list of the Orders window, click an entry order that you want to move around its OTO order's pattern.
   Note: You can select more than one order by holding down CTRL and clicking orders of your choice.
2. Drag the selected order(s) to an order of your choice within the same OTO order. The following scenarios are possible:

• If you drag the selected secondary order(s) to the primary order, the Do you want to move order(s)... to another OTO order? message appears.
  
  
  
  Note: By default, the order that you drag to a primary OTO order becomes a secondary order of the first level; if you drag a secondary order that has its own secondary orders, it moves together with all its secondary orders.
• If you drag the selected secondary order(s) to another secondary order, the Move order(s) dialog box appears.
  
  
  
  Note: If you drag a secondary order that has its own secondary orders, it moves together with all its secondary orders and their subordination.
  
  In the Move order(s) dialog box, specify the following parameters:

• In the Levels box, click the arrow , and then, in the list that appears, select a level or your choice.
• In the Primary Order box, click the arrow , and then, in the list that appears, select an order number of your choice.
3. Click Yes or OK.

The selected secondary orders move to their new position in the OTO order.
