Stop Limit Orders

[fiddy]

Is it possible to set StopLimit orders instead of stopmarket orders when using ATM strategies such as in Auto BreakEven and Auto trail

Hello fiddy,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, this is possible - please right click in the window where you are submitting your orders and select Properties. In the Properties menu the 'Use Stop Market for Stop Loss orders' property can be set to False if you wish to submit Stop Limit orders as Stop Loss orders when ATM Strategies used.

thanks Kyle, if you want a ATM strategy to only have stop and trailing stop etc and no profit target do you just set profit target to zero?

Hello fiddy,

Yes, that is correct - if you do not wish to submit a Profit Target order this setting should use a zero value.

hi kyle, i have set 'Use Stop Market for Stop Loss orders' to false but the orders being submitted by the ATM for stop orders still seems to be stop orders
