• Attach Market Order to existing Client Order 
  If the trader creates a market order directly on the market and not through a client order he can attach the market order to an existing client order.  All market orders that are not attached to a client order can be attached to client orders.  The client order must have the same side and symbol.  
• Attach Market Order to a new Client Order
  If the trader has created a market order and it is not part of a client order then he can create a new client order and attach the market order to it on the same time by selecting "attach to a new client order".

  Filled market orders can be split between many client orders.  If a trader creates a large market order then he can split the market order between many client orders, as long as the market order is fully filled/executed.
