Hi there, In the documentation it says the following: Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Working Order Lines (Price): In the case of Stop-Limit orders, the price you see displayed after the Order Type in parentheses is the Limit price. The CME exchange will convert Stop orders to Stop-Limit orders and set the Limit price a certain distance from the Stop price. So sometimes you will see Stop orders display this price in parentheses. That is the price I have marked with an arrow - 30485.25 - but the actual price where the order fills is correct - 30500.25 - and is the number next to it, so what is the number in brackets there for actually - it seems somewhat confusing as to what the CME is doing. Does this mean that a normal stop, which I thought was a market order, will always be a 'stop limit'? I have my stop set to just a straight stop on the targets tab of the trade window but on the chart it shows as S/StopLmt. Sorry, I couldn't use your preferred method of image upload. Thanks. |

The CME Group converts all "Stop" order to be "Stop Limit" orders. Refer to the following: Order Types: Stop Orders on the CME A Stop-Limit order is a Stop order that will only fill as long as the price is above the Limit (for a Sell stop) price. On Sierra Chart, a Stop-Limit has the Limit price denoted in parentheses in the working order line. Therefore, from your image, the Stop price is 30500.25 and the Limit price is 30485.25.

Oh, ok, thank you. Would you be able to add an option where the stop and target orders are displayed with a value from the parent in ticks or points and not the actual scale value of where it is. So in the example from my image the stop would just say 25 points or 100 ticks or $50.00 and not have the 30500.25 or the 30485.25. I frequently get confused when moving stops to follow prices and that would make it much easier. |

In the recent releases there is an option to turn off the display of the "Limit" price in working orders. Refer to the following: Global Trade Settings Windows: Stop-Limit Order Limit Price (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> Working Orders >> Working Orders - Display) There is no option to have the offset displayed in the Working Order line instead of the price.

I found this: Global Trade Settings Windows: Attached Order P/L When Modifying (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> Working Orders >> Working Orders - Display) That is exactly what I'm looking for. Sorry to waste your time. Thanks again. |
