Post From: Teton stop loss to stop limit mitigation

Hello,

I've read the documentation for stop losses turning into stop limit orders on the CME when using Teton. I kind of hate the idea of a stop loss turning into a stop limit order and am looking for a way to mitigate this. It doesn't seem like disabling the use server side oco and bracket orders does anything. Is there a way to keep the stop order on the client side so it can execute as a market order? I am also considering using the global profit/loss management to market flatten all positions in the event of the server side stop limit getting blown past.

If there is a simpler way to make sure the stop loss is executing as a market order please let me know. Also, if I am misunderstanding the risk associated with a protective stop limit that's being used in place of a stop loss order please let me know.

Thank you!
