Hi there,

I notice in booktrader when I add 'Auto Stop Order' and 'Target Lmt Order' button/hotkey, the default size is 10 ticks for future contracts.
Say, if I limit buy GC at 1156.2; 'Auto Stop Order' would be 1155.2, and 'Target Lmt Order' is 1157.2.
Can it be customized?

thanks!

Hi, I have this problem with the TWS from interactive brokers:
When I place an order with an attached stop loss, the instrument I trade is no longer selected. Can I always set it selected?
thank you very much!
