Hello, I am running an algo and I would like to know why my orders are not being executed at market. I am using the following code for entry order: SCT_ORDERTYPE_STOP

I am of the understanding that SCT_ORDERTYPE_STOP_LIMIT is the order type that would result in a stop limit being placed, but this isn't used anywhere in the code.

Please see attached my trades today which show that there is a STOP_LIMIT regularly being used in my order book.
