Inconsistency in stop limit order price

[ppau2004]

I placed a sell stop limit order in chart->right click->sell limit order. On the chart it shows price 3478.75
When lookup order list, I can see the order has a limit price at 3476.75, and stop price at 3478.75. Order status is showing pink accepted. But why there is $2 difference ? Shouldn't it be 1 tick ?

On the chart, it only shows the stop price, not the limit price. Make me feel that the limit price is 1 tick away from that price. Obvious it is not. Also, I can't find anywhere to adjust that $2 to 1 tick.

I did multiple tests, trying to determine what caused that $2. I found that, if I place a stop limit order at a difference price, then move the price to the required price. The limit price is now correct, 1 tick different to the price on the chart, which is the stop price.

This is in sim account. I found this problem when analyzing my loss.

Why would this happen? How to prevent it?

Your kind help will be highly appreciated.

Hello ppau2004,

This indicates you are using an offset of 8 ticks for the stop limit order. You can set the offset when you submit the stop limit order. Am I correct you entered a value of 8 here? If so, please enter a value of 1.

You don't get this box when submitting a stop limit order, you must have configured a predefined offset. Please right click in ChartTrader and select Properties. Enter a value of 1 instead of 8 for the Predefined stop limit offset value" setting.

Please feel free to post any additional questions you may have.
