Order entry

Place orders when, how, and where you choose.

  • Attach SnapTicket™ to your computer screen and use it to enter orders no matter where you are online.  SnapTicket allows you to maintain a convenient, secure connection to your TD AMERITRADE account at all times.
  • Select order entry defaults for your stock order entry page and SnapTicket so you can easily execute the type of trade you typically make.
  • Trade online, over the phone, in a branch, or even automatically with Trade Triggers, which allows an order to be entered automatically when a pre-selected condition is met.
  • Use Express Trading* to submit all types of orders with a single click.
  • Take advantage of Direct Routing so you can direct equity orders to various destinations and options orders to option exchanges.

Home page and Web site settings

  • Personalize your homepage with pre-selected indices, watch lists, positions, and account balances that you want to see.
  • Opt to have SnapTicket and Streamer launch automatically at log on or launch them manually on your own
  • Create your own shortcuts to research tools that you access multiple times a day.
