Buy and Sell Stop Orders using Static DOM

[aguison]

Firstly sorry for this basic question - I generally use Chart Trader however came across the Static DOM which sometimes comes in handy when you need to be very precise with entries and exits. Chart Trader is very user friendly - when you place an order above or below the market, it knows to make the order to be a LIMIT or STOP. But when in Static DOM, if you left-click on the Buy or Sell column, at least for me it always uses LIMIT. Is there a setting to make the intelligence similar to Chart Trader? I tried using the middle mouse button but it only does Buy SLM or Sell SLM, not Buy or Sell Stop.

Also if you use the middle mouse click, you get prompted for number of contracts and check and x mark. How do you bypass this confirmation?

Thank you

Hello aguison,

Thank you for reaching out.

Please see the link below form the help guide for how to use the SuperDOM to submit orders:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/submitting_orders_superdom.htm

I have also attached a labeled image for your referece:




You can also set the Middle Mouse button to be Stop Marker rather than Limit by Right clicking and changing the SuperDOM properties as shown below:


You would the no longer be prompter for a Limit Offset value when submitting your orders.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

hello,
I find it very dangerous that a limit buy can be placed above market with a single click, as it gets filled with a loss immedeately. I would consider "normal" behaviour if left click automatically selects between stop and limit orders according to its position regrarding current price. I am guessing there is no option to enable such behaviour, is there a way to request for it? thank you!
