Hi there,
In the documentation it says the following:

Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Working Order Lines

(Price): In the case of Stop-Limit orders, the price you see displayed after the Order Type in parentheses is the Limit price. The CME exchange will convert Stop orders to Stop-Limit orders and set the Limit price a certain distance from the Stop price. So sometimes you will see Stop orders display this price in parentheses.

That is the price I have marked with an arrow - 30485.25 - but the actual price where the order fills is correct - 30500.25 - and is the number next to it, so what is the number in brackets there for actually - it seems somewhat confusing as to what the CME is doing. Does this mean that a normal stop, which I thought was a market order, will always be a 'stop limit'? I have my stop set to just a straight stop on the targets tab of the trade window but on the chart it shows as S/StopLmt.

Sorry, I couldn't use your preferred method of image upload.
Thanks.
