Limit chase for entry but not for exit?

I am using Chart Trader on the DOM

I enter via keyboard shortcuts I have defined.

I use Limit Chase orders (Chart Trader / Menu / Orders / Use Limit Chase Orders)

So the entry is fine... I get a limit chase depending when I enter.

However, if I click on the DOM to set a limit for exit - it is also a limit chase. And I would like it to be a plain limit order.

So is there a way to either enter a plain limit by clicking on the DOM or via a keyboard shortcut?

or is there a way to remove the chase once the order is visible on the DOM ?

This really is an older option and we recommend disabling it:
(Chart Trader / Menu / Orders / Use Limit Chase Orders)

The way to specify order types Is directly through the Chart DOM settings:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Chart DOM Settings

The way that you should handle your exits is through Attached Orders and then specify a Limit Chase order as the Target order:
Attached Orders

You can also use custom keyboard shortcuts and do any order type that you like:
