I trade with interactivebrokers, you can set up the trigger, bid, ask, last (which really doesn't exist in forex) or bid -1 or ask +1 or whatever trigger you want

once that trigger is hit it becomes a market order

This is something I've been trying to figure out too.... I recently entered several trades usint stops. Usually with a limit, price must trade 1 tick above/below ur limit price. If it is a stop, then u can be filled if price trades at ur stop price, but not 1 tick above/below.

In my backtesting, I want to enter above/below the signal bar, I should use a limit instead of a stop, because sometimes I'll get filled and the market won't ever penetrate the entry bar low/high (especially in ES), therefore a stop *might* get filled, but a limit won't.
