Hello. I'm using Denali data feed with SC Order routing. No matter how I place a Stop order, be it by chart right click menu, trade window, or spreadsheet auto trading study, the stop orders are turned into stop-limit with an offset of 3 points from the stop price. See https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1609331986702.png . That stop-limit shown there with price 3735.50 and limit at 3738.50 was placed by right clicking and selecting "Buy Stop". Why is it a stop-limit then, and where does the 3 point offset come from? I checked the trade window and all offsets in the "Set" tab are at 0.
