Virtual stops are not transmitted to the broker. But rather, they are processed by OT/VT as new data comes in. If/when your stop level is triggered inside a Trade Plan, OT will THEN transmit a market order to the broker. That is because your virtual condition is now true, and you want to take action now. (In this regard, there is no order sitting at the broker.) On the other hand, IF you want to park an actual STOP order at the broker, then you must use that order type. | |
