Stop limit orders

Hi,
how can I make use of stop limit orders per default? For example if I want to enter a market with a stop limit buy and use a protective regular sell stop market order at the same time on a DOM and also on a "small ladder DOM" as you can see below WITH a single click!

This is how it looks like from my end when I use a buy stop limit order with a take profit limit order and a protective sell stop market order by using right clicking about the market on the Buy column.

But when I right click above the market on the small ladder on the right side of the chart window ONLY a regular stop order is initiated as you can see below

How can it be arranged that for "the small DOM ladder inside the chart" a stop limit oreder is issued too?

Also, as for an attached protective stop I would always like to use a regular stop market order!

Many thanks in advance!

Refer to the 8 settings starting here that define the action taken when clicking on the Chart DOM Buy/Sell columns:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Left Click on Buy Column Above Last (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Order Types >> Order Types Above/Equal Last for Chart DOM)

Thank you! But how and where can I choose the limit price to be the same as the stop price?

By default the limit price seems to be 4 ticks higher as you can see here:

This is done through the Set tab of the Trade Window. This is explained here:
Order Types: Stop-Limit

Thank you! It seems I missing something here because I set the Limit to the stop price and it still shows the 4 tick difference!

You must be changing the setting on the wrong Trade Window. Refer to:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Trade Window Settings Not Applying to Chart or Trading DOM (Trade Window Settings Not Applying to Chart or Trading DOM)

Hi, I am afraid but I am lost! I could not find any information regarding the default stop limit settings on the link you were mentioning!
