Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about changing the Limit offset?

I am not the original poster, but I have the same question. It's my understanding that you can change the limit offset only if a stop limit order is submitted manually (middle mouse button), whereas stop limits via ATM will always have a 20 tick offset, which can not be overridden. Is my understanding correct? If so, could you briefly explain the rationale for this? I know that other programs (e.g. Buttontrder) allow you to pre-define the offset. Thanks.

You can change the price but the offset is fixed. This is to ensure that a stop limit stop loss order gets filled when triggered.
