Re: the previous question about limit order executing as market. That happens to me also. it is most likely because the order moves by the time it gets executed at the exchange. There is a command to stop this when you send the limit order. I have attached 2 photos. It is an execinst variable... so theoretically, just like the "lastprice" variable that sierracharts created an option to add, they can also do the same with the post only. Its actually a big deal for trading short term. it can make or break the trade being profitable if trading for 10 or 20 ticks. The execinst variable is: ParticipateDoNotInitiate. I notice there is an "additional execinst for orders:" where you can add a execinst variable.. but im afraid that might be a blanket variable used for all orders.. we would need there to be a separate one for limit orders.
