How can I place a stop limit orders to enter a market where stop and limit are the same(Diff=0), and use a regular stop market order as protective stop when things go wrong?
I found under the "Set" tab "Stop Limit Order Limit Offset" 2 boxes. Primary Orders where I assume I put a zero, so that "trigger price and limit are the same, but what do I put in for Attached Orders to have a regular stop market stoploss? -1??

If you're trading CME or ICE products, those exchanges will automatically add a Stop-limit order to your position "X" points out from your regular Stop. The "X" amount is determined by the product you are trading. For ES/MES, the "X" is equal to 3 points.

Follow the instructions here regarding Stop-Limit orders:
Order Types: Stop-Limit

Yes this is correct:
Primary Orders where I assume I put a zero, so that "trigger price and limit are the same

The corresponding setting is not relevant for a Stop market order type:
what do I put in for Attached Orders to have a regular stop market stoploss? -1??
So it does not matter.
