pending order

[highlander]

I have downloaded the mt4 from alpari uk,but when I try to place a pending order I it will not accept the trade and says I must be at least 20 pips from the present price and as the AIMS objective is to take a SL not more than 15 points away that is a problem.
Is there any other mt4 platform from a differant broker that does not limit you like this.

HI there,

Alpari work to 5 decimal places so 20 pips to them is actually 2.0 pips to us...

Hi Grant,thanks for the help but I have just seen on a pending order there are buy and sell limit and buy and sell stop which would I use in a trade? ?

[Grant]

we always use stop (buy/sell) orders

so for example, looking long and the set up is good and the aims high is at 1.30767, i place a buy stop PO at 1.30800...

hope this helps
