Yes, usually, unless a negative stop limit is used as is said and is also supported by the trading system or the market is moving so fast and moves beyond the limit price. In that case you may want to modify it.
Use TOS for charting futures but after getting acquainted with SC, I use SC for my charting. TOS just recently added the ability to draw a trendline on tick charts as well as add range charts that user could choose tick and size of tick range.
There are studies on SC that are not available on TOS - clear swing line is one that comes to mind.
Noticed on some of the sshots the red and green lines on the DOM - what do they represent and how do you have them show on the DOM.
There were some additional features on the DOM - where would one go to activate the features?
Overall, after learning how to set up the charts and with responses from the Support Board as well as SC members, it is like the feel of an old shoe -- GOOD!!
designing and testing strategies on a live account is a big part of what I do.
Being able to look over the results of all of the trading done later on is very important to me.
In MC, I can only look over the performance report if the strategy , chart is still connected.
That is a large sore spot. Of course you can export everything to excel.
In NT , it is very easy to go over reports of all of the trading done. Very robust performance reports. This essential to strategy development.
SC, I have trouble figuring out where to find any kind of performance reports, or to view them.
When I asked on the support forum, they just give a link to the manual. That did not help.
If I was just trading and charting, then SC has wonderful charting capabilitie. And you cant beat the price, especially with the market profile capabilities.
It seems I need several platforms to fill all of my needs
Also, I use thinkorswim as the base of all programs. Of course, that I use for options and they have a pretty good charting capability and organized workspaces. But being Java based, it acts up and freezes alot. I cannot use it to trade futures at all.
