Why could that be? It was working fine, but now happens that I set the stop to limit, I enter the trade and it works ok, but if I enter another trade, the stop has changed to market. I need to go to the 'main' tab of the 'Trade Window' to alter it manually, every single time.

Thank you.

Pressing the button 'buy mkt' or 'sell mkt' in that Trade Window.

If I remember correctly, when entering throught the DOM, with the same attached orders, it doesn't happen.

the stop limit of the bracket order is respected and stays there, for the next trade.

If entered with the TW, the stop changes to mkt.

thanks.

This is the configuration of the Bracket Orders that I'm talking about.

Is anything wrong with it?

So did you want to use a Stop-Limit order on the Chart DOM?

Disregard post #5. We misunderstood. When using Buy Market and Sell Market on the Trade Window it does change the Order Type on the Trade Window to a market order type.

Exactly. The second time you use it.

The first, if I set the stop to limit, limit it is.

I want to use it again?, it has changed the type to market.

I've been trying today, and happens like this in SIM aswell or with different bar period types (I've tried flex renko and range), in the chart with the attached trade window.

and, yes, If I bought or sold the mkt the first time. Buying/selling the Bid or the Ask or entering a limit trought the DOM, does not alter my bracket order.


Good night

OK we understand, we can make sure that order type does not change. We will work on this.
