Adjusted order type

When you select an adjusted order type, the stop order you're adjusting will not trigger when the stop price is hit. Instead, it will be changed to this order type, and use the other parameters below.

Select one of the stop order types. When your current stop price is penetrated, it will change to this order type and use the instructions you set in the following fields.

 

Adjusted stop price

When the trigger price is hit, the adjusted stop price is implemented for the new order.

 

Adjusted stop limit price

Used for Stop Limit and Trailing Stop Limit orders. This value will be the limit price of the order if it is triggered and submitted.

 

Adjusted trailing amount

Used for Trailing Stop and Trailing Stop Limit orders. This value will replace the original trailing amount if the adjusted order is triggered.
