Using StopOrder with current ASK, BID
17 Oct 2017, 18:29


Hi. 

can i place a stop order has current Bid (when order is Sell Stop) or Ask(when order is Buy Stop) of StopPx ?

so order will be filled immediately

 

I know if i use MarketOrderSingle then i cannot control slippage.

so i want to server execute my order exactly at the price.

 

or is there a other way make slippage zero ?

Hi jjpark78,

You could use a limit order with the current price as Price. If there is available liquidity at that price, the order will be executed. If not, it will be rejected. Limit orders do not have slippage.

Hi Panagioti,

If I am correct Limit Orders and Stop Orders are used in basically opposite market conditions so one cannot just use Limit orders instead of Stop Orders, right ? 

Thanks, Ales
