General
Set default account preferences like error-email alerts, Trade screen defaults and table layout.
The General settings page is where you update your default account settings. The settings are grouped into categories (Alerts, Portfolio, Trading, Billing), with a category list on the left to jump to a group. Each setting shows its name and a short description, with its control on the right — on/off settings are switches, numbers have plus/minus buttons, and small choices are buttons. When you change anything, a Save bar appears at the bottom of the page. Click Save changes once to save everything you changed, or Discard to undo. From here you can turn on error-email alerts, control how the portfolio tables look, set default values for the Trade screen, choose market price protection, and turn on auto recharge.
This is where you can update your default settings. The settings are grouped into categories, and each setting has its own short description under its name.
How the page works
- Category list. The left side shows the categories (Alerts, Portfolio, Trading, Billing). Click one to jump to that group.
- Controls. On/off settings are simple switches. Number settings have − and + buttons and show their allowed range. Settings with a few choices are shown as buttons, so you can see every choice at a glance.
- Blue dot. When you change a setting, a small blue dot appears next to its name. It reminds you which settings you have touched but not saved yet.
- One Save bar. As soon as anything changes, a Save bar appears at the bottom of the page. It shows how many changes you have made. Click Save changes to save them all together, or Discard to undo them. If you try to leave the page with unsaved changes, the browser warns you first.

Market Price Protection (MPP)

The system can convert a market order into a protected limit order so it still goes through. See Market Price Protection (MPP) for the options and how to choose.
