    Anyone tried entering stop limit orders on IBs demo software...I can not get it to work properly...if I enter a ...buy stop limit...above the market it gets filled almost imediately...it disregards my election price...the price at which it needs to touch or penetrate before the order is made active...I know its only a demo...but I wanted to practice before I actually used it for real...the whole thing seems so cumbersome and lenghty/time consuming that I have been using mental stops...what have you guys been doing?...Is it just me or the demo?:mad:
