Setting Stoploss for order entry

[RandyT]

I've checked the Properties for my SuperDoms and it is set to a value of '1' for "Stop Limit Offset".

When I enter an order, it is setting a 20 tick stop offset for the ES as an example.

What do I need to do to get this set to my goal of 1 tick?

Hello RandT,

The "Stop limit offset" option only applies for stop limit orders you submit manually.

Globex only accepts stop limit orders as stop losses and I believe they use a default offset of 20 ticks.

Hello RandT,

Not sure I follow you.

This has always worked as expected when using ZLT DOM, so I know it is possible. www.zerolinetrader.com

All I am asking is that the bracket OCO orders that get entered once the trade is filled are set with a 1 tick offset for the limit. This is order entry via IB API and I know it can be done.

I have noticed if I go into IB after the order is entered and change the offset of the limit that it honors that limit as I change the stops through the SuperDOM.

I cannot imagine that Globex (or any other market) would require a 5 POINT OFFSET. What would the point be of even setting a limit to your stop limit orders?

Hello RandyT,

I will forward your inquiry to our development team and ask them if they can add this to the list of future considerations for the software.
