Stop Order Triggering

[Tidus]

Hello,

I have a question about stop triggering. When I place a protective stop it seems to me, that Ninja Trader only execute the order if the last price hits the stop level. For most contracts last price is close to bid or ask price, but for example mini gold has sometimes a difference, also mini euro and mini yen.
I noticed this on a long gold trade today, where my stop was not executed until last price hit it. But bid price hit my stop earlier and when last price hit it, I got a worse fill, because bid was at this time already lower.
Is it possible to change this?
Thank you.

Hello Tidus,

Thank you for your post.

Try setting a "Stop Limit offset" in the SuperDOM properties menu (right click in SuperDOM and select properties).

I do not understand what I can do with the stop limit offset.
Example: Gold Bid 760,2 Ask 761 Last 760,5
My stop is on 760,02 for a long position, but stop is not executed until Last hits 760,2. Is there a possibility, that the stop order will be executed, when bid hits 760,02?

Unfortunately that is not supported.
