Post From: Confused re operation of Buy/Sell Limit Orders on ChartDOM

I understand the Order types. My question is why you cannot place a Buy Limit order above current market or a Sell Limit order below current market. After all this is one of the purposes of a Limit order. And it is not just 'missing' from the ChartDOM, I have also found out you cannot place one from right clicking on the chart and nor from the Trade DOM. In all cases it immediately places a market order (which of course is immediately filled). The documentation link you posted has a major error in the very first paragraph: ...The following are the methods by which in order of any of these Order Types can be submitted:
Through the Trade Window. Through the Chart or Trade DOM. Make sure you add the Order types to the Chart Trade Shortcut Menu..... This is not right as the ChartDOM only allows you to place two types of orders (Stop and Limit) regardless of what is added to the Chart Trade Shortcut Menu. |
