PlaceStopOrderAsync has no marketRangePips?

Hi All, dear Support,

I'm just working on a Bot using PendingOrders. To my surprise I cannot find a Parameter to define MarketRange for the Order Execution if the Stop Price was triggered?

Am I missing something or is there realy no Option for MarketRange with a StopOrder?

If no, with which maximum MarketRange is a StopOrder executed?

 

THX

Hi Mikro,

Stop Limit orders are still not supported in cAlgo. They will be out soon.

Best Regards,

Hi Panagiotis,

thanks for the Info.

Then, is there any limit for the Stop Order execution or could it potential be executed after a gap with like 100Pips of the Stop Price?

Thx

Hi Mikro,

No there isn't. That is why we are introducing Stop Limit order soon. Stop orders are executed as market orders when triggered. What you can do currently , instead of placing a Stop Order, is to keep track of the trigger price and when reached to place a market order with range. Let me know if this helps you.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi Panagiotis,

that clarifies the Orderhandling an rises another Question ;)

Are there any "Benefits" in Terms of the Precision or Speed executing a pending Order vs a Markt Order? Does the Market Maker "preallocate" the pending Order an matches it prior to the Price hitting the Stop Level?

Or in short, will I encouter a better Order Execution with pending Orders?

 

Thx Mikro

Hi Mikro,

No there isn't any real benefit besides the convenience of not needing to program yourself all this execution process.

Best Regards,
