SuperDOM stop limit in Free version

[chartish]

The properties dialog for the SuperDOM in the Free version of Ninjatrader 8 shows Predefined stop limit offset. I tried using this in sim mode and it didn't work.

Is it available in the Free version and if not why is it not greyed out?

This feature is not disabled with the free live key. Can you go into further detail about what you're experiencing with this feature and what makes you believe it isn't working?

I tried it once and my stop was not hit. I will try it again. I may have done something wrong. I will get back with you. Thanks.

When configured, the stop limit offset would automatically be set instead of having to configure it prior to each stop limit order submission. Please see the link below to learn more about how this feature works:

I just set a predefined stop limit offset of 1, bought 1 contract at 2860.00. I expected to see a stop limit on the DOM placed at 2859.00 but it is not there. The price moved down through 2859.00 and the stop was not triggered. What did I do wrong?

You're misunderstanding how stop limit orders and this feature work. A stop limit order has to price components - the stop price and the limit price. What you're doing when you click on the SuperDOM is defining the stop price. The offset price is the price of the limit order that will be submitted when the stop price is reached. This is more obvious to visualize if you look at your Orders tab of the Control Center. In the screenshot below, I've defined a 4 tick offset within the predefined settings. Notice that the limit price is 4 ticks away from my stop price:
