Hi, Drummond,

I am pretty sure this has been documented, but it may be a little outdated due to many new features being added to the platform lately, take a look at the link below which covers the latest build of cTrader, the method you are looking for is ExecuteMarketRangeOrder.

That's great thank you Paul, much appreciate...

Using ExecuteMarketRangeOrder seems a bit limiting to me, what if the re-quote is favourable? Am I correct in thinking that setting a range prevents the slippage for both negative and positive outcomes??!?!

Ideally we would simply state that if the re-quote goes against us we don't wish to place the order...?

I think this would be a question for Spotware or your broker, sorry, I am unsure of the answer on this one.

I guess I'll just use a limit order with an immediate execution as this would be honoured at the target price or better, right?

var targetPrice = Symbol.Bid

Hi Drummond360,

Sorry somehow missed this thread. I thought Paul was in control :) ExecuteMarketRangeOrder limits only negative slippage. It is equivalent to a limit order executed at the range price.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis
