I was surprised to see my fill instantly stopped out. On close examination of the order ticket it shows my SL on the wrong side of STO. Surely this order should not have been accepted and rejected straight away.
Anyone has any thoughts on this ?
My thoughts are:
We do check for a lot of different kinds of user mistakes. But not all possible kinds.
For example, if you entered a single order that was a LIMIT or STOP, and that order was marketable at the moment you entered it, we would interject with a dialog box that says: “Hey, Biks, that order looks marketable. Are you sure you want to do that?”
But you mis-keyed a conditional order (I.E. a stop or limit conditional on a primary entry order.) We don’t check for marketable prices for those kind of orders.
I’ll categorize your suggestion as a nice-to-have, and eventually we’ll try to get to it, but I have no estimated time for this, and so for now, I just recommend extra care entering your conditional orders.

I thought it would be fairly easy to check the SL and PT in relation to the Main order price. For example for STO the check would be for SL to be above that price and PT to be below it.
