Is there another way to change a stop limit order's offset, besides creating a new atm, aka twconfig, that specifies that spread?
It would be nice, but I know probably not easily implemented, to be able to set the stop limit order's offset on the chart.
Just an idea :).
I hope I have the concept of stop limit correct, the following is what I'd like to be able to do
Once a price is touched, the order is placed as a limit order several ticks away (a better price).
The way it looks now, one twconfig must be created if the better price is 2 ticks away, and and another if its 3 ticks away, correct?

This may be a new feature request, and I think new features have been suspended for a while.
Or there may be a way of doing this tha I am not aware of.

Once the Stop price is touched, you can then just simply move the Stop order and that will adjust the Limit price by the identical amount.

You may even see the order type change to "Limit" depending upon the particular trading service you are using.
