Post From: ACSIL trading: does SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT issue a limit order when the stop is hit?

Hello.

An entry is initiated with .OrderType specified as SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT, and I buy at a specific price. I set my stop at 23 points below the buying price.

If the stop level is reached, is the exit performed using a LIMIT order or at the MARKET?


  s_SCNewOrder goLong;
  goLong.OrderQuantity = 1;
  goLong.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT;
  goLong.Price1 = entryPrice;
  goLong.Target1Offset = entryPrice + 11;
  goLong.Stop1Offset = entryPrice - 23;
