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; |

The exit occurs using a Stop order.
