Buy Stop Order problems in Das Trader Pro

Recommended Posts

If I bet on a price increase beyond that range for ABC stock and places a buy stop order at $10.20 (if the current price of ABC is $10.0). Once the stock hits that price, the order becomes a market order and the trading system purchases stock at the next available price.

However, I cannot do the Stop Buy Order in the Das Trader Pro because of the error message "The price is invalid". Did anyone know what the problem is?

Here is a Hotkey Script that will buy a Fixed Number of Shares at Market (for a LONG position) when the price gets to a certain price above the current price.  You must double-click the price where you want to place this STOP order.  (NOTE: you must also have your MONTAGE WINDOW STYLE set to "Stop Order". )

 

CXL ALLSYMB;
Route=STOP;
StopPrice=Price;
StopType=Market;
Share=10;
TIF=Day;
Buy=SEND;

 

Here is the version of the script for entering a SHORT position.

CXL ALLSYMB;
Route=STOP;
StopPrice=Price;
StopType=Market;
Share=10;
TIF=Day;
Sell=SEND;
