    Sell limit orders changing to buy limit

    Let's say price is at 4505 and I set a sell limit order at 4505.50.
    I then see the price drop to 4504 and I would like to short on this so I click on the order and drag my order from 4505.50 into 4503.50. This now turns into a buy limit order and places me into a long position that I did not intend to.

    Is there a way to change this so that no matter how I move my orders, they never switch from sell limit to buy limit or viceversa?

    Thanks.

    This is unexpected behavior. I would expect if you were to modify a sell limit order to a price below the last traded price that it would fill almost immediately and put you in a short position. Orders are not switched from buy to sell when modifying them.

    Please send me your log and trace files so that I may look into what occurred.

    You can do this by going to the Control Center-> Help-> Mail to Platform Support.

    Ensuring 'Log and Trace Files' is checked will include these files. This is checked by default.

    Please reference the following ticket number in the body of the email: 1556363 ATTN Patrick G
