    ATM FX can't enter stop loss and profit target

    i'm on NT7 v.12 and i'm trying to make a custom ATM for trading EUR/JPY
    either from Chart trader or from the Super Dom:
    i'm having problems entering the stop loss and profit target from the ATM Strategy window...
    when i highlight the stop loss value window i can't type into it from either of the numeric keypad/keyboard
    i can only use the up and down arrow to move the stop loss
    nor can i type numbers into the Profit target entry window (only the up/down arrows work)...
    but i get an error when entering the order that the stop is too far from the market to enter the order because it's taking the 0.20'5 i'm entering as a stop loss and trying to set an order at a price of 0.20'5 which of course doesn't exist...
    can't type in the stop loss value i want because the window won't take numeric keystrokes....
    don't know what to do ?
    can't sit there and use the up arrow to get to 128.22'0 as that would take about a day and a half...
    what am i missing ?
    it works fine on futures orders...
    thanks
    /w

    oh, the thing i forgot to mention, which is even funnier...
    when i start clicking the up arrow key to change the Stop loss value nothing happens in the window until i've clicked the arrow 5 times...
    really weird...

    Hello stafe,

    Thanks for writing in.

    Forex instruments are not intended to be used in the SuperDOM. What you may want to use is the FX Pro window.
    You can access the FX Pro window by going to File> New> FX Pro
    Below I have provided a link to the FX Pro section of our help guide.

    From your explanation it sounds like your SuperDOM is set to Parameter Type: Price. Is that correct? You can check by right clicking on your SuperDOM and selecting Properties

    If your Parameter Type is set to Price and you would still like to use the SuperDOM for Forex what you can do is middle mouse click on the Profit Target/Stop Loss to change the value to the current price. You then you be able to change the values quicker.
