As already discussed in the article about Order Types, we must adjust the type of order being sent according to each situation. Regarding order placement via Chart and SuperDom, some adjustments are made automatically.
For example, by going to Tools > Settings > Chart > ChartTrading, we have the option Automatic Stop Evaluation. By default, this option is enabled with the setting Evaluate bid/ask prices checked.
This setting is responsible for automatically adjusting the order type when trading via chart. For example, by holding down the Shift key and moving the cursor across the chart, the order will automatically switch between Limit and Stop.
If the Automatic Stop Evaluation option is disabled, the buy order would remain as a Limit:
Notice that when the Automatic Stop Evaluation was enabled, the buy order placed above the price was opened and created as a Stop order. However, with the option disabled, the buy order was sent as a Limit order and, as expected, was executed immediately, opening a buy position.
Thus, the Automatic Stop Evaluation option is enabled by default on the platform precisely to prevent unintended order executions.
The Evaluate Bid/Ask option uses the Bid and Ask prices as a reference for adjusting the order type, while the Evaluate Last Price option is based on the last quote received for the asset.
The Price Levels option sets a margin for this adjustment. If configured to “2,” for example, buy orders would have their types changed 2 ticks above the reference price.
In addition, the Automatic Stop Evaluation setting also exists for SuperDom. To access the configuration, go to Tools > Settings > Tools > Market Depth under the Trade tab.
Note: Sell orders follow the opposite logic, they are automatically sent as Stop if placed below the reference price and as Limit if placed above.
