Brokers and trading groups offer a variety of routes on DAS Trader. If you see in the Route Status window that a route is available, but it is not in your route drop down menu, you must add it manually. Follow the steps below to add a route manually.
Before you begin, confirm the availability of the route with your broker as well as which exchanges can be traded on the route.
1. Right click on the route dropdown menu in the montage window to open the Route Box Setting window.
2. Select the relevant exchange from the dropdown menu. The exchange code and their corresponding exchanges are listed here.
3. Type in each route you want to add in the white box below LIMIT, MARKET, STOP. For each route, make sure you add L or M at the end of the route, for Limit and Market. For example, if you want to add EDGX as a route, type in EDGXM and EDGXL in this list. Once you add the route to each exchange, click Apply and then close the window.
4. To make these changes permanent, you must update your trade settings. Click Setup and then Trading Settings. Then make sure the setting “Don’t automatically load route list” is enabled. This setting makes it so DAS Trader Pro loads with your route list instead of the route list stored on your firm’s order server.
