Post From: Triggered trail stop buy order NOT working

Hi,

I am not able to get triggered trail stop to work as a main BUY order (with no attached orders)

So for example if the current market price is 7.55 and I use order type 'Triggered trail stop' with a 'stop price of 7' and 'Trigger' price as 6.90, AND I hit BUY; the order fills IMMEDIATELY at current market price i.e. 7.55

This is not what I want.

I want the trailing action to begin when the market price falls to 6.90 and then the BUY order to chase the market price with an offset of 5 ticks.

Can you please help as it's an important part of my strategy?
