syracusepro Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I am missing good trade opportunities. While set up to be a market order and qty, 100, still show limit and 1,500 shares once the buy button is hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 you are not giving any details. What is setup as market and 100? Where? for which account? What are you using to trade - TradeTicket? Chart? DOM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syracusepro Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) I managed to enter a trade, but was asked for a trade count password, which is different from my broker or MedDev platform. Also, using the trading tab on the chart menu on top left. Edited February 1, 2017 by syracusepro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 As far as password, you can enter EITHER your brokerage account password or MT account password, or if you setup a trading pin in settings, then you can also enter that. Trading tab on the chart - MT does not change the values that are entered there - you setup the QTY etc on that trading tab - if you then select buy or sell, it should use whatever is selected in the QTY field on that trading tab as the default, which you can change while the cursor is in Trade Drop mode by just using the mouse wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syracusepro Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Things are getting better as I found the help tab. So many questions due to the use of the platform for live trading. Once I get use to where the things are, then I will be good to go. Now looking for after hours selection, but with the help menu I am pretty sure things should be there before asking support. I trade Forex, Stocks, Futures, etc. Thanks a lot for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 In anticipation of the question - Futures and forex quotes will not work with TD Ameritrade - Their datafeed does not currently support them (TOS uses a different one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syracusepro Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I do have Interactive Brokers too. But dont matter if anything else dont work, as long as I can do stocks, it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnybravo Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 How do I use a stop-limit instead of stop when I enter the trade ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 sorry - thought I answered this - guess I didn't hit submit. That depends - which screen are you using for entering a trade? Trade Ticket? Chart? DOM window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnybravo Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 It's Ok. I found what I need. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
