Open Platform > Trading accounts to link a supported broker account and inspect its connection. Start with paper credentials. Check the broker’s supported order types, destinations, and time in force before submission. Open Platform > Controls for account and organization controls, and Platform > Symbols for instrument controls. Access depends on your role and plan. Controls gate new creates only; disabling a scope does not cancel resting orders. See Controls.Submit an instruction
Organization administrators can open Trade > Order ticket. Choose the trading account, symbol, side, and supported order specification, then review the request before submitting. API integrations can submit the equivalentPOST /v1/intents request from the quickstart.
A successful submission returns an intent ID. It confirms a durable instruction, not a fill.

A
SENT action means the command was handed off. Read the resulting order’s status and filled quantity to determine execution. A closed order can be cancelled or filled. A replacement carries a complete order specification and references the original intent ID, not the broker order ID.
The Intents API also exposes refused submissions at GET /v1/intents/rejections. These explain authorization, entitlement, and controls refusals before acceptance; they are distinct from a broker rejecting an accepted instruction.
