Use Stop Market for Stop Loss Orders' property

[postalman]

I must be blind.... where is this (see below), I can set the Chart Trader properties to use stop market and it works fine. My ATM strategies use stoplimits which is not what I want them to do, need stop market for stops, duh.
I'm running strategies under the strategy tab so I can see the trades on the chart with chart trader and the same instrument.


3 & 4.) To ensure that ATM Strategies use Stop orders for Stop Losses, please right click in the window where you are submitting your orders and select Properties. In the Properties menu set the 'Use Stop Market for Stop Loss Orders' property to True then click OK.

Hello postalman,

To confirm, you are running a fully automated NinjaScript strategy on the Strategies tab of the Control Center, is this correct?

Atm (Advanced Trade Management) strategies are separate and settings from Chart Trader or the SuperDOM for Atm Strategies do not affect NinjaScript Strategies.

You would need to code the strategy to use ExitLongStop() / ExitShortStop() to submit a stop order that is not a stop limit order.
