EDIT 1:

It is actually possible to set IEX as the default for trade routing. To do so:

Return to General and under Stock order entry click Edit for the Routing setting:

Stock order entry > Routing

Then select IEX from the drop-down menu for Routing:

Routing: IEX

Again, bear in mind that IEX routing is only for regular market orders, so if you ever do want to perform a PM or AH trade, simply route that trade differently under Additional details.
