Unless I'm wrong (it happens) all fulcrum trades are market orders when the cushion is breached. If price is gapping you quite possibly will get a fill beyond where you want it. (I discovered that this morning.)
I would like to be able to specify the cushion as a limit trade.

Fulcrums when triggered will activate a trade plan. You can set the order types that you want in the trade plan.

Thanks. I see that now. Any chance of there ever being a bracket order?

I'm not sure what I want to do is possible but let me know if it is and I will try to figure it out. (Hate working on stuff that can't be done <:). I would like for the cushion to be a limit or stop limit order. Don't think OT will allow a bracket with sell stop and a buy stop but that would be in the case of a fulcrum with "either".

There isn't a way to set the cushion to a specific order type.
