You cannot use a market order for a target or a stop.

Dear SC Engineering,

Why can you not use a market order for a target? For example, your target is hit and you send out a market order to buy or sell. That should be straightforward. Why is that not possible inside ASCIL?

I'm asking because I want to set up a trailing stop function using ASCIL and have it feed/be used by my spreadsheet. I'm just getting started and your response is making me think whether I'm wasting my time.

Thanks.
