Stop Limit Sell - not working in DOM

At times I would like to sell when price gets to a specific level. However when I try to do that by putting a stop limit order at a specific price, my trade is executed at the current price. For example I want to sell at 4350 and currently price is at 4360. When I enter the order via the DOM and click the price 4350 to place my standing order - the orders gets executed immediately at the current price - which in this case would be 4360. Any idea why is this happening? and if there is a workaround for this? thanks |

If you are placing a Sell Stop Limit order at a price below the current price then you should not have any issue with this. How are you entering the order? If you are doing it from the Chart DOM by clicking in the Sell column, then ensure that you have the correct setting for the particular click method you are using (right or left) by looking at (adjusting) the settings in the Trade >> Chart DOM Settings. Refer to the information here: Global Trade Settings Windows: Chart DOM Settings For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thanks John - that helped. Just have to right click for sell stop limit below the current price.
