Post From: Trade and Current Quote Symbol question

So I've set up my platform now with ES displaying on the chart and SPY designated as the 'Trade and Current Quote Symbol'. I guess I'm not really clear what exactly I can do with this arrangement. I was hoping I would be able to set buy and sell orders at certain levels and have them fill, similar to how chart trading would normally operate, only in this case I want orders of SPY to be sent corresponding to the ES level. But I'm getting nothing. For example if I set a SELL LIMIT or SELL STOP order above the current price, and price trades through the level... nothing happens. If I put a BUY LIMIT below price... the order automatically fills at market. And with a BUY STOP below price, and price trading through it... nothing happens. Someone mentioned that I would only be able to use market orders with this setup, but I thought that meant I'd at least be able to set up trade orders on the chart to be filled when my designated level is hit. I'm not really interested in just blasting off a market order from the DOM when I see my price level hit. I can already do that. Do you know how I can make this work the way I want? Ideally, I'd love to be able to set a BUY LIMIT or BUY STOP LIMIT order at a certain level below price and have a LIMIT order on SPY sent where I could designate that if order can't be filled within a few ticks either on the ES or SPY... then don't fill the order. And vice versa for sell orders. |
