Spotware Systems announces Stop Limit Order for cTrader.

Spotware Systems announce that they have added a new order type to their cTrader platform. This new order type is a Stop Limit Order, it has been added to desktop, web, iOS and Android versions of the platform, and it is available to all users of all brokers offering the platform.
A Stop Limit Order is a combination of a Stop Order and a Limit Order. The combination of the two orders offers to the investor much greater precision in executing the trade. Contrary to a Stop Order that is filled at the market price after the stop price has been hit, regardless of whether the price changes unfavorably. A Stop Limit Order places an order that sets a limit to the price that the investor accepts for the order. While a Stop Order can lead to trades being filled at less than desirable prices, combining it with the features of a Limit Order, trading is halted once the price becomes unfavorable, based on the investor’s Limit Range.In summary traders can benefit from the limit of price deviation which is associated with Limit Orders while being able to Buy above the market and Sell below the market as with a Stop Order.
Panagiotis Charalampous, Business Development Manager at Spotware, stated “At Spotware, we put traders needs first. Stop Limit Order has been one of the most wanted additions to cTrader by the community and Spotware has satisfied a desire of thousands of traders. With this release, we deliver another powerful tool in the hands of traders. Now traders will be able to perform even more precise trading and expand the diversity of their trading strategies”

Hello,
stop limit order is great, but in this form unproductive for daytrader or scalper. please integrate it in the chart. I must simple right click in the chart to choose the stop limit order similar the stop order. a menu to order stop limit is very old school and only for swingtrader helpful.

Do you have any plans to provide this orderType in cAlgo ? It will be really useful for us ( traders) and i see no reason why it shouldn't be available in cAlgo ( and only through UIs)
