Reference: Asset Settings, Portfolio Settings, Account Settings and Default Trading Settings
The Portfolio Settings dialog allows you to access and manipulate the settings of individual assets in your portfolio. The Portfolio Settings dialog contains four tabs:
Stock, Forex and Futures Defaults
The Position Sizing, Order Details, Limits and Stops, Safeguards, Broker Settings and Order Fees tabs are all tied with the Asset Settings, Portfolio Settings, Account Settings and Default Trading Settings dialogs. Please note that any adjustments made to these tabs from the Asset Settings dialog will only affect that particular asset. However, any adjustments made to these tabs from the Portfolio Settings or Account Settings will affect the entire portfolio selected or the entire account that holds all of your portfolios and assets.
The Portfolio Settings dialog is accessible by the File menu under Edit Portfolio Settings.
The Portfolio Tab allows you to control the specific settings of your broker account in Trader68. The Portfolio Tab controls your log in and account type settings for your broker.
