This section of the documentation refers: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ChartTrading.html#ChartDOM Here is what I was trying to achieve: Current price of an instrument is $35. I want to enter a new trade and SELL this instrument when price drops to $30, but I only want to sell at $30 or a better price (ie higher price). So I don't want to sell at $29.99, or $29.98 etc. So I assumed I would use a Sell Limit Order on the ChartDOM by right clicking on the Ask/Sell column of the ChartDOM at $30. But when I do this I am immediately entered into a short trade at Market price ie around $35. My ChartDOM Global Settings are as per your documentation referred to above. What am I misunderstanding? How do I achieve what I want (as I thought that was a use of Buy/Sell Limit orders)? Cheers |
