Stop Limit Order

[Newtrader101]

Hello,

Whenever I place a stop limit buy or sell order, NT8 has me to pick the number of contracts that I want to set.
Is there a way to have NT8 just follow along with my strategy? Meaning if I have an auto strategy for 8 contracts, and I want to place a stop limit buy order by right clicking on the chart and selecting "Sell Stop Limit 8"?

Hello Newtrader101,

The window that populates when submitting a Stop Limit Order is where you can adjust your Offset as opposed to an order quantity. The Offset value is the amount of Ticks you are willing to be filled beyond your Limit price.

For example if you submit a Buy Stop Limit on the ES at 2800.00 with a 2 Tick Offset at the worst case scenario you are willing to be filled 2 Ticks beyond your Limit price at 2800.50.

ok, thanks I understand. Is there any way to turn this off?

Please use the steps provided below to input a default offset value which will bypass this step.

• Right click in the Chart Trader panel->Properties
• Enable "Predefined stop limit offset"
• Input a "Predefined stop limit offset value" you would like used
• click Ok
