Post From: Stop Order instead of Limit Order

We are aware of the problem with bid and ask pricing and we recognize this is a totally unacceptable problem. Our data provider, Barchart in Chicago, has been made aware of it this morning and they are working on resolving it and we also recognize that this is a totally ridiculous problem that should not even be happening to begin with.

What we want you to do for now is to go to Global Settings >> Chart DOM settings. And set all of the Left Click operations to use Limit orders. Refer to:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Chart DOM Settings

We are going to change that to the default because that is what we agree with. We never really have liked the idea of invoking stop orders based upon where you click relative to the last trade price. This is inherently something which is not safe because there can always be faulty data or an issue where there is a market which is just not actively traded and a difference between the last trade price and the bid/ask prices.



i would send you a screen shot, but your system doesn't permit it.
This does not make sense. Here is the documentation for that:
