Post From: Characteristic of Limit Orders In Chart Trade Mode

I use SC's chart trade mode (with IQ data/IB Broker). When I drag and drop a limit order on my chart it quickly snaps back to where it was and then immediately snaps back to where I have dropped it. Because the chart trade mode has always worked in this way for me, I have accepted this as 'normal', but not the most desirable. I'd rather the limit order would stay put where I drop it without the snap back and forth.

Now, I just completed helping a friend get set up with SC. He also uses SC/IB and trades the same instrument(s) that I do. I notice that when he drags and drops a limit order in chart trade mode it does stay put where he drops it - there is no snap back to where it came from followed by a snap back to where he dropped it. As far as I know, all of his settings are the same as mine (I set them up).

Do you have a suggestion of an adjustment I can make to prevent my chart limit orders from snapping back and forth as they are? Thanks much.
