Stop Limit Offsets

[prosentti]

How can I set a stop limit offset separately for the entry and exit orders?

For example 1 tick/pip for entries and 15 tick/pips for exits. This is important because if I want to be sure my exit orders are filled I have to put big offset but at the same time I do not want to get filled with so big slippage / bad entry.

prosentti, per default the exit ATM generated StopLimit orders used would have a 20 tick / pip offset, that's hardcoded in to help 'ensure' a fill. For the entries you can set it as desired in your order entry interface in the properties -

ok thx for the info

btw. that help still says the offset is for both entry and exit orders...

Correct, that's still the case for manually placed exits - ATM exits would have the hardcoded 20 tick offset.

Ok.

I still think it would be much better to give control for the trader by adding another parameter for exits. The current one for the entries.

Thx anyway
