BlueCollarDayTrading Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 The last two days I have entered a long position with the trade ticket. Then I placed a target price using the C on the chart trader. after a few seconds it filled the order about the same price. I did not press any buttons on that chart or symbol.

Jerry Medved Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 clicking the C on the position capsule is same as selecting SELL (for long positions) and it just presets your QTY. it does not do anything with price. That gets set based on where you drop the capsule by clicking on the chart again. are you by chance double clicking on the C? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCollarDayTrading Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I select LIMIT as order type then I click on the C then I place the order on the target price. Then after a few seconds it filled the order. I do this on many orders to set the target price using the chart trader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 you are using auto transmit, right? turn it off. do it again Does the capsule get placed at the right price? If so, hit send. does it fill at the incorrect price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCollarDayTrading Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) I am using auto transmit, I can't do it right now I do not have any trades. I was Long MAT at 13.18 and wanted to set a target of 13.35 so I selected LIMIT and clicked the C then moved order to 13.35 then clicked it was fine there. THen it filled at 13.19 Edited March 23, 2018 by BlueCollarDayTrading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
