Just to revisit this subject with a different (but similar) question..

Is there a way to submit a limit order at the MARK price? (mid point between bid/ask)?

Or would I have to make it a function like:

"Then buy/sell this bar at ( (bid - ask)/2 ) Limit ; "

djvie11,

you will likely have to code it yourself. Depending on your broker it might make sense to round the order price to the nearest tick to prevent rejections, too.
