The direct answers to your questions are the following, assuming you have not changed any of the settings for "Trade >> Chart DOM Settings >> Order Types" from their defaults: 1. To place a Buy Limit order above the current price, you would left-click in the Buy column. 2. To place Sell Limit order below the current price, you would left-click in the Sell column. But, these options will not give you what you want. When you place a Buy Limit order above the current price, the exchange is going to see that the current price is more favorable and automatically fill that Limit order at the Market price. The opposite is also true for the Sell Limit below current price. In order to do what you want, you would need to use a "Stop-Limit". You can change the settings on the "Trade >> Chart DOM Settings >> Order Types" to allow you to place a Stop-Limit using one of the options. You need to decide which way you want to do this and change the appropriate option on that page.
