I am a starting trader and trying to set-up TWS in a demo account.
What I try to accomplish is a Button or hotkey for Sell order with a bracket for Stop Loss and Take Profit. For a Buy order this is working OK, but for a Sell order TWS seems to mix up the TP and SL.
For instance a Sell order at $27,00:
Stop Loss -0.10c
Take Profit 0.20c
I would expect a BUY STP at $27.10 and a Buy Limit at $26.80.
TWS execution results in:
Am I wrong in what to expect?
Or dit I made a mistake in the setup of the Button?
P.S. When using the Order Entry screen instead of the button/hotkey the following orders appear on screen:
