Dom is autmaticaly placing my limit orders as market.

[sphereless]

Every time I place a buy or sell above or below price they are being filled immediately as market orders.

Try middle click your mouse

or holding down CNTRL and middle click your mouse to get a buy stop limit above market

Hi sphereless,

Thank you for your post.

Limit orders will be filled at the price they are placed at or better, and since the last traded price is presently better than the limit price it will fill immediately.

You will want to use a Stop Limit as Laserdan suggested, or a Stop Market order. Please see the following link.

Thank you very much.. Very new to this platform.

It is not working now.. I am placing my cursor at a price above or below market and holding the cntrl key down while hitting the left click on the mouse. I have no idea how to pull this off.

Hi sphereless,

To place a stop market order you will hold CTRL+Middle Mouse Click, and for a stop limit order it will be a Middle Mouse Click (scroll wheel).

So rather than use the left mouse click please try with the middle mouse click and let me know if you are then able to input stop limit or stop market orders.

I also just have a laptop and don't have a scroll wheel for middle clicking.

sphereless,

I have provided the steps below to help with the configuration.
• Start Menu
• Control Panel
• Mouse
• Buttons
• Under the buttons tab you should have an option to make the middle mouse wheel a button.
If this option is not available reference the mouse software you have installed to change any settings.


If that does not work for configuring your laptop you may try using both the left and right click at the same time to simulate a middle mouse click.
