Question
Eltrading
Hello,
Hope someone can help, I'm new to IG.
When using dealing on chart, it places the order entry at the current price and then I see I can move up and down the stop and limit levels, which I understand being stop loss and take profit.
Am I correct that when dealing on chart stop means stop loss and limit means take profit? In fact I see the RR calculation from it.
Is it not possible to use dealing on chart to set a stop order or a limit order so that I don't enter an order at the current price?
To do that I had to enter the order from the tab by typing the numbers and then move it from the chart once placed, where I could see at that stage the arrows on the right to modify.
Why doesn't the dealing on chart offer the arrows on the right so that I can set to enter at a price different from the current?
Hope I explained myself well enough for you to understand.
Thanks!
