Hey Guys, When i place an order through the trade window, it places a market order rather than a limit; what settings do i need to change to make sure the order is executed correctly?

How exactly are you submitting the order. What is the name of the button you are using on the Trade Window?

We need 100% precise details on exactly how you are submitting the order. This is not descriptive for us.

It sounds as though Stop orders are being used. You need to configure the chart DOM order types as you require as explained at step 6 here:
