Pending Order Buy Limit versus Buy Stop order

Re: Pending stop orders

Hi All,

I made an EA that is supposed to enter a buy trade when the price comes from a lower price and comes up and crosses a previous candle high but when I used "Buy Pending Order" it put in a Buy Limit order to my broker and I'm finding my orders do not get filled. The only way they get filled is when the price goes above my order then comes back down below my Buy Limit order but by then I've lost the quick breakout move I was trying to catch.

Is there anyway to make a Buy Pending Order put in a Buy Stop Order to my broker instead of a Buy Limit order? (looking to do Sell Stop Orders on the short side too)

Thanks,
Hax

The 'buy pending order' does that automatically. Could you please share the link of your project?
