Hi,
I'm just testing my strategy in autotrading mode using Pats in demo mode.
The stop limit entries are not working.
My entries are "buy at x stop x+10 limit". So that it is effectively a market order but with limits.
When the stop price is traded nothing happens.
I've also placed manual stoplimit orders on DOM ladder and they don't work (tried many combination of trigger and limit prices).
Stops and limits work fine.
Any ideas? Is this a bug or do Stop limit orders not work in Pats demo mode for some reason?

Re: Stoplimit orders not working in Patsystems demo mode
wilkinsw, are you using demo account or demo mode? These are two different things.I still have this issue. As I said, I'm only testing on the demo account with Pats.
Our PATS developer is out for a couple of days. I will update the thread once he looks into this case next week.

Re: Stoplimit orders not working in Patsystems demo mode [SOLVED]
Hello wilkinsw,
In Demo mode PATS API does not send the Stop-Limit order status even if the order is to be executed. I have reported the problem to PATS support.
On a demo account MultiCharts sends a Stop-Limit order if this order type is supported by the exchange. If this order type is not supported then MC checks support for StopLimit#-synthetic Stop-Limit order emulation in the PATS API. If both order types are not supported then "Unsupported order type" is returned.
