Stops and targets on limit orders

[Grantx]

Hi,
When entering a limit order, why don't I see the stop or target of the ATM?
If I market order then the stop and target appear correctly.
Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Stop Loss and Profit Targets will show up after a limit order is filled and you have entered the market; they will not show when the limit order is pending, because you technically do not have an open position to protect at that point.

Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance.

Hi Melissa,
This functionality can be improved. It doesnt make sense to have an ATM and not be able to see see the configuration when setting limit orders. Most other platforms will show you where your stops and targets will be relative to your limit order. Even though that information does not yet exist at the broker because the trade is not yet live, it still needs to be displayed locally so that the trader can see whats going on.
