    Positioning of stop limit price on ATM stop loss

    I created a simple stop loss strategy for trading ES where I stop out after a 5 tick loss:





    As you can see I entered this trade at 917.25. When I look at my Interactive Broker portfolio page however, I see the stop is set correctly 5 ticks lower at 916, but the limit sell price is 5 whole points lower at 911:





    Why is this stop price set so low? Is it possible to change this to a stop market order, or to set the stop sell price to something more reasonable?
