    When this order triggers at Ask+2, the Stop order changes type to "Fixed Pegged". I can't access the order ticket.

    Can we assume it is:
    • Still a Stop order?
    • Stop is at Ask-3 from the original entry or the current ASK?. i.e. fixed pegged to which price?
    • Will it trail (Stop) at -4?
    Second question is

    This does a regular Stop and Trail. It seems to ignore the Adjust Stop Fields. Is there a way to also get the Adjustable Stop with Trigger-Trail attached to the initial regular Stop and Trail through this UI (chart trader build 980)?

    Thanks for any insights.

  2. The easiest way to find out is to use a paper trading account and experiment with the parameter settings.

    Thanks,

    The first case seems work as expected. None of the Order Columns give any information after it flips to "Fixed Pegged" type. But it would be nice to see the values or modify even.

    The second case is something I cannot get to work in any way. I am sure the API would be straightforward.
     
  4. I highly doubt this. You seem to have more faith in the API than I have.
