Trading a Stradle - How to do it

Can someone tell me how to do the following in this platform:

I own 500 shares in company X that I bought at 100

I want to place a stop order (Good till Cancelled) at 90 but also a limit order at 110

It seems that this is not possible - when I try and add the limit order it says I'm short selling which of course I'm not

All help appreciated - it seems that this may be another significant limitation of the platcform

Regards

That's an American thing.  They talk in imperial units and have complicated 'options' strategies because America is the greatest nation on earth.  Find an American, kiss their feet and plead with them for help.  They are our overlords now.

    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link
    • Demo account: Please note that conditions on demo accounts may differ from real accounts. Some brokers may only provide overnight loans on real accounts and not on demo accounts.
    • Swap Rate: Check the swap rates for your open positions. Overnight loans are calculated based on the difference between the interest rates of a currency pair, and if the difference is small or negative, you will not receive a loan.
