Hello,

how can I correctly set my stop limit order in Sierra using DTC protocol?
I have there two prices, one Price1 and the second Price2, which is used for stop limit orders.
Do I have to set both of them or how should I tell the Sierra price borders?

Or in case of DTC do I have to use offsets?
Many thanks for the explanation.

regards

In the case of the DTC protocol Price1 is the Stop price. And Price2 is the Limit price.

This is in the case of a Stop-Limit order. You need to use actual prices. These are not offsets. And they both must be set in the case of this order type.
