Hi, I'm wondering what I should choose for stop market orders in the Global Settings >> Customize Chart Trade Menu

I tried MIT but that just executed at market immediately when I placed the trade. I'm trying to buy above current market price with a market order if price gets back up to the specified price.

Thanks.

If you are trying to put in a Buy order (not Sell) above the current price (or a Sell below the current price), then you would need to use a Stop Limit order type. Refer to the information here:
Order Types: Stop-Limit
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
