In the demo platform, I submit BUYSTOP and SELLSTOP orders around the current 5 mn candle (for example) and they are visible on the chart.

But when the tick comes near (or touches) one of the STOP orders, the order becomes automatically a LIMIT order.

Of course, the order is not filled but is filled when the tick comes back and moves in the bad direction.

This happens very often. I suppose it's a bug because STOP and LIMIT orders ares basically very different to work with.

Please could you correct this ?

WARNING! Stop entry orders with applied slippage control become limit orders once they have been triggered, and have suffered rejection eventually.

Thank you hebasto,

I read the wiki page you sent me. I did not apply slippage but my error was to put "0" as slippage. I changed that with Double.NaN and now I get STOP orders, no more STOP(LIMIT) orders.

Everything works fine.
