Pending order question

[markmc]

Hi - With the buy / sell pending orders what is the price off set?

If I want to open a buy pending with a 100 pip off set - will this be above or below price?

Another question ... How to select order type (BuyLimit , BuyStop) in "Buy pending order" block , (or sell) ?

Stop or Limit - this depends on where the open price it. This is how I did it initially and this is how I still understand it better. I never understood those limit and stop things

By default you get Buy order that is 20 pips above the price ot Sell order that is 20 pips below. This is because "Price offset" is 20 by default. But this value can be also negative. Try -20 and the order will go on the opposite side of the price.

OK , understood ... Can also be negative , trailing pending too. Works fine(demo) , no need to worry order type.
Only set distance(offset) to open price ... Fxdreema are awesame
